Chu Lai Airport uses the IATA code VCL and the ICAO code VVCA.
Chu Lai Airport (VCL) serves the Tam Ky area of former Quang Nam province, now part of Da Nang, and is also handy for Quang Ngai to the south. It was built as a military airfield during the Vietnam War and was later reopened for civil use. The Airports Corporation of Vietnam runs it today.
The airport stands in Nui Thanh, close to the coast and the Chu Lai economic zone. Tam Ky is a short drive to the north, and Quang Ngai lies to the south. Hoi An is further away, roughly 80 to 90 km by road, so most Hoi An visitors fly into Da Nang instead.
A single passenger terminal handles all flights. It offers check-in counters, a departure hall with cafes and snack kiosks, and a baggage claim area. The concrete runway is about 3 km long, easily enough for the jets used on domestic routes.
Most flights link Chu Lai with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet Air are the main operators on these routes. Schedules change during the year, so check what is flying on your travel dates.
The coastline near Chu Lai has long, quiet beaches, and the Tam Thanh mural village near Tam Ky is known for its painted houses. Ly Son Island, reached by boat from Quang Ngai province, is a popular side trip for its volcanic landscapes and garlic fields.
The airport is small, but taxis can be scarce after a late arrival, so arrange a transfer in advance. Travellers heading to Hoi An should compare the extra road time against a flight into Da Nang.
