Tan Binh borders district 3, district 10, district 11, district 12, Tan Phu, Gò Vấp and Phú Nhuận. Tan Son Nhat International Airport is located in Tan Binh. Once the largest urban district of Ho Chi Minh city, Tan Binh was partitioned to create Binh Tan and Tan Phu. Like Binh Thanh, the whole area of these three districts consists of vast maze of residential area, which grew organically for more than 40 years without any urban planning.
The airlines Jetstar Pacific Airlines and Vietnam Air Service Company have their headquarters in the district.[1][2] The planned airline VietJet AirAsia has its Ho Chi Minh office in the district.[3]
Tân Bình District has one of the most notable high schools in Ho Chi Minh City, the Nguyen Thuong Hien High School. Other public high schools are Nguyen Chi Thanh High School, Nguyen Thai Binh High School and Ly Tu Trong High School.
