Da Nang International Airport (IATA: DAD, ICAO: VVDN) is an international airport serving the area of Central Vietnam and the region's largest city Da Nang. It is the third international airport in the country, after Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City).

In addition to its civil aviation, the runway is shared with the Vietnamese People's Air Force (VPAF, the Không Quân Nhân Dân Việt Nam), although military activities are now extremely limited.[2][unreliable source?] The airport served 5 million passengers in 2014, reaching that passenger count around six years sooner than expected.[3] An expansion of the new terminal is currently considered to increase its capacity to 10 million passengers per annum by 2020.[4] This airport handled 6,722,587 passengers in 2015, an increase of 34.7% compared with that of 2014.[5]

This airport handled 11 million passengers in 2017, an increase of 24.1% compared to that of 2016.[6] The airport has two separate terminals for international and domestic passengers, with a total passenger capacity of 11 million per annum as at 2018.[7] The Hanoi-Danang and Ho Chi Minh City-Danang routes have respectively 319 and 250 weekly flights and are, in order, the second and third busiest air routes in Vietnam after the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh route (475 flights).

In 2024, it was ranked 94th in the list of World's Top 100 Airports by Skytrax,[8] certified as a 3-star airport with its international terminal rated a 5-star.[9] It is set to have the first smart terminal in Vietnam, under a partnership signed with FPT Software.[10][11]
