Field and clock profile

The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 10,007 ft / 3,050 m.

Country airport peers
HPH is compared with HAN Hanoi (Soc Son) at 105 km, DAD Da Nang at 553 km, SGN Ho Chi Minh City at 1112 km, LTH Ho Chi Minh City (Long Thanh) at 1117 km, VCA Can Tho at 1198 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.

OurAirports classifies HPH as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Haiphong (Hai An).
HPH (VVCI) is a near sea-level field at 6 ft (2 m) in the tropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
HPH sits in a broader regional network with 3 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
HPH's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 10,007 ft / 3,050 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
A specific operator or management record for HPH is not currently in our source set, so this page leans on regulator and country context rather than inventing one.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at vietnamairports.vn, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for HPH
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
HPH uses Asia/Bangkok (ICT, UTC+07:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Cat Bi International Airport is about 6.8 km from central Haiphong (Hai An); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
HAN Hanoi (Soc Son) is the closest retained alternate at 105 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
vietnamairports.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

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Haiphong (Hai An) is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Haiphong 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.
Cat Bi 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
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from HPH, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
