Flights to Hanoi
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Hanoi is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Noi Bai International Airport (HAN), 22 km (14 mi) from the centre, whose 12,466-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Cat Bi International Airport (HPH, 95 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noi Bai International Airport | HAN | 22 km (14 mi) | 12,466 ft | 39 ft |
| Cat Bi International Airport | HPH | 95 km (59 mi) | 10,007 ft | 6 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,466 ft, HAN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 39 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
