Airports in Vietnam.
6 airportsPrimary zone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh
This page lists 6 retained airport records in our curated Vietnam airport catalog with IATA and ICAO codes, city names, and local timezone information. Airport records come from OurAirports and timezone rules come from the IANA database. Click any airport for coordinates, elevation, the current local time, and nearby airports.
Content reviewed Apr 30, 2026. This airport index is reviewed as a curated reference surface. It does not claim complete aviation coverage for Vietnam; it lists 6 retained airport records (6 large airports) across Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, Asia/Bangkok.
Coverage note. This is an airport-reference index for timezone and travel planning. It focuses on retained large and medium airport records with usable codes and coordinates, not every runway, heliport, closed facility, or local landing strip. Airport service levels, terminal operations, route availability, and codes can change; verify with the airport, airline, NOTAM, or official aviation source before travel.
Timezone note. Airport timezone records can be more granular than the country profile. Asia/Bangkok appears in the retained airport records but not in the country-level timezone list, so use the airport record for local-time calculations.
Country airport evidence
Why this Vietnam airport page is retained
This page is classified as a compact gateway set. The evidence score comes from static source coverage: codes, airport facts, official domains, city-clock handoffs, IANA zones, operational facts, and country dossiers where present.
Code and entity coverage
6 IATA, 6 ICAO
6 retained records have airport-facts rows; 5 cite official airport domains and 5 carry Wikidata entity links.
Traffic and operation facts
0 passenger rows
No retained record quotes passenger-volume facts yet; operational depth comes from type, code, timezone, runway, source, and scheduled-service fields where available.
Timezone pattern
2 airport zones
Airport clocks span UTC+07:00 to UTC+07:00, so this country page must keep airport-local time rather than assuming Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh.

Traveler planning patterns
How to use Vietnam airport data without overreading it
Start with the gateway layer
Can Tho International Airport (VCA) is the first retained airport to check for Vietnam; then scan the 6 large and 0 medium records for regional alternates.
Keep airport-local time explicit
Do not assume one country clock: retained airport zones span UTC+07:00 to UTC+07:00. That matters for overnight arrivals, missed-connection buffers, and airport pickup times.
Use codes for the search, city pages for context
4 airport records link onward to vetted city-time pages, so a code lookup can become a local-clock, daylight, holiday, and meeting-time check.
Treat schedules as live elsewhere
5 retained records carry a scheduled-service flag, but route availability, airline service, terminals, and disruption notices are not live here.
Watch holidays and local operating days
Vietnam has a holiday country page on this site, so use it alongside airport time checks for closures, public-holiday pressure, and ground-service planning.
Know what the passenger data covers
No retained airport quotes passenger-volume facts yet, so the page avoids traffic rankings and leans on source-backed type, code, timezone, and city context.
Airport coverage patterns
How the Vietnam airport index is structured
This page adds country-level context around airport counts, code coverage, timezone spread, and city-clock handoffs. It is built from the retained airport dataset rather than a live airline or aviation registry feed.
Coverage pattern
Only 6 airport records are retained for Vietnam, mapped across 6 localities — a deliberately small set (6 large and 0 medium; 6 large airports) covering the airports most likely to anchor a city clock or travel check.
Code reliability
Every retained Vietnam record carries both an IATA and an ICAO code (6 of each), so passenger-facing and aviation lookups resolve consistently across the set.
Timezone spread
Airports in Vietnam are not on one clock — they span Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh, Asia/Bangkok, led by Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (4) and Asia/Bangkok (2). Read each airport's stored zone directly rather than assuming a national offset. Airport timezone records can be more granular than the country profile. Asia/Bangkok appears in the retained airport records but not in the country-level timezone list, so use the airport record for local-time calculations.
Major airport examples
Standout anchors here include Can Tho International Airport (VCA) in Can Tho, Cat Bi International Airport (HPH) in Haiphong (Hai An), Da Nang International Airport (DAD) in Da Nang, and Long Thanh International Airport (Under Construction) (LTH) in Ho Chi Minh City (Long Thanh). Large airports lead the list because they are the most reliable hooks for travelers, city clocks, and cross-border time checks.
City-clock handoff
Airport records here hand off to indexable city pages such as Ho Chi Minh City (Long Thanh) (LTH, SGN), Can Tho (VCA), and Da Nang (DAD). Handoffs are restricted to vetted city pages so the airport index does not spend crawl budget on thin local URLs.
Offset range
Airport timezone records in Vietnam span 2 IANA zones from UTC+07:00 to UTC+07:00, an offset spread of 0.0 hours. Treat each airport's stored zone as authoritative for local clock math instead of assuming a single national offset.
International gateway count
6 retained records carry an international-gateway role label in the curated airport facts for Vietnam. Role labels are derived from OurAirports type plus airport naming; verify scheduled international service with the carrier before booking.
Regional peer comparison
Vietnam has 6 retained airport records vs. Iran 6, Pakistan 6, Taiwan 6 in the same continent. This is a structural comparison of retained-record counts, not an audit of national aviation policy or fleet size.
Operational depth
Across the retained Vietnam set we have 9 curated runway records and 5 airports flagged with scheduled service. Operational facts come from the Wikipedia-derived airport-facts curation, which is sparse for smaller airports and not a substitute for the airport authority's own data.
Traveler boundary: use these records for timezone orientation and airport discovery. Verify live operations, route availability, terminal status, and NOTAM-sensitive details with official airport, airline, or aviation sources.

Vietnam vs. Asia peers
Peers are picked by geographic proximity (same continent) and similarity of retained-record counts. Comparison is structural — it does not audit fleet size, national aviation policy, or passenger traffic.
Country aviation dossier
Editorial context for Vietnam aviation
ACV-managed airports served roughly 109 million passengers in 2024, 96% of plan. Tan Son Nhat (SGN, Ho Chi Minh City) carried 39.8 million; Noi Bai (HAN, Hanoi) over 30 million; Da Nang (DAD), Cam Ranh (CXR), and Phu Quoc (PQC) round out the leisure-driven secondary tier. Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, Bamboo Airways, and Vietravel Airlines are the principal carriers. The CAAV regulates; ACV (Airports Corporation of Vietnam) is the dominant state-owned operator. The new Long Thanh International (LTH) airport is scheduled to open in 2026 to relieve SGN.
