Field and clock profile
Noi Bai International Airport is a near sea-level field at 39 ft (12 m), positioned at 21.2212° N, 105.8070° E in the Northern tropics. The runway snapshot lists 2 runways and a longest runway of 12,466 ft / 3,800 m.

Country airport peers
HAN is compared with HPH Haiphong (Hai An) at 105 km, DAD Da Nang at 628 km, SGN Ho Chi Minh City at 1160 km, LTH Ho Chi Minh City (Long Thanh) at 1169 km, VCA Can Tho at 1239 km inside the retained Vietnam airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

Runway identifiers
11L/29R, 11R/29L
OurAirports classifies HAN as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Hanoi (Soc Son).
HAN (VVNB) is a near sea-level field at 39 ft (12 m) in the tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
HAN sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
HAN's runway record lists 2 runways, with the longest runway at 12,466 ft / 3,800 m and source surfaces recorded as concrete (2).
A specific operator or management record for HAN is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
- It is the second busiest airport in Vietnam by passenger traffic, after Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at noibaiairport.vn, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for HAN
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
HAN uses Asia/Bangkok (ICT, UTC+07:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Noi Bai International Airport is about 22 km from central Hanoi (Soc Son); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
HPH Haiphong (Hai An) is the closest retained alternate at 105 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
noibaiairport.vn is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place HAN inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
HAN ranks #2 in the curated Vietnam airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 6 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
HAN shares Asia/Bangkok with BKK Bangkok TH · DMK Bangkok TH · HPH Haiphong (Hai An) VN. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
HAN is 39 ft (12 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include BOM 39 ft (12 m) (0 ft delta) · MID 38 ft (12 m) (1 ft delta) · PNH 40 ft (12 m) (1 ft delta) · WLG 41 ft (12 m) (2 ft delta) · MJI 36 ft (11 m) (3 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
HAN's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are HPH 105 km +0h · DAD 628 km +0h · CAN 808 km +1h.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
The airport sits in the normal outer-ring range for a major metro gateway, so rail, shuttle coach, and ride-hail all matter when you judge the fastest arrival.
Hanoi is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Noi Bai International Airport has 3 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
