81 sets of NABCO automatic sliding door operators including relevant optional devices were installed at Noi Bai International Airport Terminal 2.
Noi Bai International Airport (IATA: HAN, ICAO: VVNB), the biggest airport in northern Vietnam, serves the capital city of Hanoi. It is now covering routes with 36 airlines to 15 cities in Vietnam and 53 cities overseas, handling over 6 million passengers per year. This new terminal will raise the airport’s annual capacity to 10 million passengers to accommodate with the rapid growth in passenger volume, and it will become the biggest airport in Vietnam. Construction completed and the terminal has begun operation in January 2015.

Eventually, we succeeded to supply 81 sets of automatic sliding door” Nguyen Xuan Thang, Deputy General Director of Sonha Auto said.
