Hanoi Noi Bai HAN Airport Overview

Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport HAN is Vietnam's premier Airport and accounts for one third of international departures and arrivals among the three major airports in Vietnam. As Noi Bai is reaching its maximum passenger capacity, a new Airport is to be built and loans therefor have already been secured.

The Airport is located in the northern part of Vietnam, 45 km from downtown Hanoi, its capital city.

With two long runways and an estimated 9.5 million passengers a year, Hanoi Noi Bai International Airport is hub to Vietnam Airlines and its Skyteam, and is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct and connecting flights to all points of the globe.

Note to arriving travelers with checked baggage - It is important to know that, after collecting your baggage, you are required to present the remaining portion of your baggage claim, attached to your airline ticket, to the attendant stationed at the terminal exit. So, hold on to it and do not discard it prematurely. Otherwise you cannot prove that the bag you reclaimed is yours.

Departure Tax f
or adults is about $14; children under 12 $7 - pay in dollars or dong.

The Y-shaped passenger terminal at Noi Bai Airport has four levels.  (For more information, please refer to 'Terminal Map' page.)

Parking options at Hanoi Airport include short- and long-term parking lots close to the terminal.

To get from the Airport to your destination you can rent a car (Alamo, Avis, Europcar, Hertz & Sixt), take a taxi, a bus or a minibus:
1. The bus stop for Hanoi city buses 07 & 17, connecting the Airport with the city-center, is just to the right of the terminal exit. The bus fare is the equivalent of 30 cents; the trip takes about an hour, and buses run 5am-10pm. Note that passengers with oversized luggage are often denied entry.
2. The Airport taxi takes about 40 minutes to city-center and its fee is fixed, which includes toll charges. Airport-authorized taxi drivers always display their license with their photo and name on the taximeter.
3. The Airport minibuses only leave when full. Both minibuses and taxis park right in front of the airport exit gate. Three companies operate several kinds of taxis and minibuses with nearly the same fare structure.

Present and future Airport Developments: While there is no official Website available for Hanoi Noi Bai Airport, 'Airport Technology.com' points out that a new Terminal 2, now under construction, is to open in 2014.
