As work continued, only Jetstar Pacific was able to function in the terminal.

Passengers could still enter the terminal via the ground floor because the fire only damaged the first floor.

Thirty Jetstar Pacific flights had used the terminal since 5:30 p.m. Monday, the company said.

The fire occurred at 2:50 a.m. Monday in the business-class passenger section on the first floor of arrivals.
