Nội Bài International Airport (IATA: HAN, ICAO: VVNB) (Vietnamese: Sân bay Quốc tế Nội Bài) in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is the largest airport in the north of the country. It is 28 miles (45 km) from the city centre. The travel time from the city centre is 30–45 minutes.

[edit] Facilities

The airport area is small compared to the other two international airports in Vietnam. As of December 2011, a larger international terminal (T2, with a capacity of 16 million passengers per annum) has been planned for Hanoi, and loans for its construction have been secured, land compensation is under way.

It has a new 3,800-meter paved runway (CAT II - 11R/29L - Opened in August 2006) and an older 3,200-meter paved runway (CAT I -11L/29R)

The distance between the two runways is only 250 metres, so the airport has a maximum capacity of 10 million passengers a year in accordance with International Civil Aviation Organisation safety regulations.[1]

[edit] History

 This section is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. You can help by converting this section to prose, if appropriate. Editing help is available. (April 2011)
  • January 2, 1978: Airport opened.
  • October 10, 2001: The new “Terminal One” began operation.
  • April 7, 2005: Tiger Airways started thrice-weekly flights between Hanoi and Singapore after launching direct flights between Hồ Chí Minh City and Singapore on April 1, 2005. Tiger Airways became the first budget airline to operate in Vietnam.
  • October 17, 2005: Low-cost carrier AirAsia launched direct flights between Hanoi and Bangkok. It is the second budget airline serving Vietnam after Tiger Airways.
  • September 2, 2007: An Airbus A380 landed at Nội Bài.
  • Since mid-2010, Nội Bài has been a hub for SkyTeam; Vietnam Airlines joined the network in 2010.

In 2010, the airport received approximately 9.5 million passengers, which made it overloaded, and accounted for one-third of international departures and arrivals at Vietnam’s three international airports. The designed capacity of the T1 terminal is 6 million passengers per annum.[2]

[edit] Terminal, airlines and destinations

As of December 2011, there was only one passenger terminal at Nội Bài Airport, but there were plans to construct another (terminal 2 or T2 with designed capacity of 16 million passengers per annum; as of August 2011, construction had not begun, due to pending land compensation). As of July 2011, the following destinations were served from Hanoi:
