One more new thing i want to suggest:
[New Feature] Helicopter Operations – SGN Airport
Concept:
Introduce limited helicopter services at SGN, simulating real-world VIP/charter connections operated by Vietnam Helicopter Corporation (VNH).
Realism Factor:
• Though VNH operates mainly from Vũng Tàu, short-haul charter flights (like to Con Dao) can be added via SGN as a special event service.
• Adds variety beyond regular fixed-wing traffic.
Gameplay Features:
• A small helipad terminal can be added to SGN (like remote stand).
• Players handle VIP helicopters, medical/emergency flights, or charters to Con Dao.
• Use aircraft like Mi-17, EC225, or AW189 – real models used by VNH.
Why it fits SGN:
• Adds challenge due to airspace congestion.
• Offers unique short-haul handling alongside jet traffic.
• Introduces a Vietnam-only twist, making SGN more culturally rich.
