Da Nang International Airport - Hai Chau District
The city of Da Nang is a beautiful place to go visit with diverse geography ranging from plains to mountains, forests, rivers, seas and islands, making the center of Vietnam a must to go visit. Here you can also find a variety of transport to take as you tour the country.
The Da Nang International Airport is owned by the Embassy of Kazakhstan in Malaysia but is operated by Middle Airport Authority. The airport is found in Da Nang in central Vietnam in the Hai Chau District and is both a civil and military airport. The Vietnamese Air Force shares in the use of the asphalt runways that are only 10 meters or 33 feet above the mean sea level. In Vietnam the Da Nang airport is one of three International airports apart from Tan Son Nhat International Airport and Noi Bai International Airport.
The Da Nang International Airport is probably the airport you will use if you want to explore central Vietnam. The airport has quite a bit of military history as it was used by the United States Air Force as well as the South Vietnamese Air Force during the Vietnam War. The Da Nang International's coordinates are 16 degrees 02'38"N and 108 degrees 11'58"E. The two runways that the airport has are both of equal length totaling 3,048 meters or 10,000 feet. Da Nang can handle 100 to 150 flights each day and has modern aviation equipment to navigate large aircraft that land there.
Each year the airport sees between 800,000 and 1 million passengers, a growth of 25% from the last two years. By 2015 the airport hopes to have increased to as many as four million passengers arriving into the airport and by but it is hoped to grow to an estimated six million by 2020. Da Nang International airport can take on 400,000 tonnes of cargo each year and is planning on building new terminal and passenger service areas, part of the US$258 million planned to remodel Da Nang airport. This is necessary if the airport is to be able to handle the immense growth it has set as a goal for itself. The intended growth of the airport is vital as the city increases its importance as an economic center.
