Airport Name and ICAO/IATA Code
Nội Bài International Airport (ICAO: VVNB / IATA: HAN)
Location (City, Country)
Hanoi, Vietnam
Airport Type & Size
Hanoi’s Nội Bài International Airport is a medium-sized international hub and the second busiest in Vietnam. It has two parallel runways:
- Runway 11L/29R: 3,200 meters
- Runway 11R/29L: 3,800 meters
The airport handles mostly passenger flights, but also supports a decent volume of cargo operations.
Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
With Bangkok (BKK) already available as a large Southeast Asian hub, Hanoi offers a perfectly scaled medium airport to complement the region.
Adding HAN would:
- Support regional and international traffic
- Introduce more Vietnamese liveries, such as VietJet and Bamboo Airways
- Offer a balance of narrow-body and wide-body routes
- Provide new short- to mid-haul connections to existing WoA airports
