The new 880,000-square-meter terminal, one of the largest terminals in China, can serve 45 million visitors per year.
Vietnam Airlines will offer fast-track services for Golden Lotus members with Platinum membership status and business-class passengers.
A 4,200-square-meter business-class waiting lounge on the fourth floor will serve Golden Lotus members and business-class passengers starting next Saturday.
