The airport has a single passenger terminal of about 4,170 m², a capacity of roughly 1.2 to 1.7 million passengers a year, and commercial routes to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Working back from your flight

To ensure a seamless check-in experience before flight departures, calculate your pickup time as follows:

• Flight departure time − 2 hours counter check-in − 1 hour 45 minutes drive time − 15 minutes buffer = Pickup time in Da Nang.
• Practical example: For a 13:00 flight departure, you should arrive at the terminal by 11:00. Your private car should collect you from your Da Nang hotel around 9:00 AM.
• For early-morning departures, consult our guide on early-morning airport pickups to organise your morning schedule smoothly.
