Gia Lam Airport (Vietnamese: Sân bay Gia Lâm) is one of two major airports in Hanoi. Gia Lam is primarily a military field dating back to before the Japanese occupation of French Indochina.

However, because of its close proximity to the center of Hanoi (15 mn by bus) compared to the International Hanoi Airport of Non Bay (25 km), Gia Lam is planned to become a domestic flight airport in 2015, with a capacity of 162 000 passengers at that date and 300 000 in 2015. The airport will be reserved to domestic and low-cost airlines.
