Location

Cam Ranh, Vietnam

Cam Ranh International Airport (IATA: CXR, ICAO: VVCR) is located on the Cam Ranh Peninsula in Khánh Hòa Province, approximately 35 kilometers south of Nha Trang city. It serves as the primary air gateway for tourists visiting the Nha Trang beach resort area and the surrounding coastal region of south-central Vietnam. The airport operates on a shared civil-military basis, with Cam Ranh Air Base occupying the same site. The facility has deep historical roots as a major U.S. and later Soviet/Russian military installation, and today handles a significant volume of both domestic and international charter and scheduled traffic. Passenger numbers have grown substantially alongside Vietnam's tourism boom, with the airport handling millions of passengers annually before the COVID-19 pandemic. A modern international terminal was opened in 2018 to accommodate rising demand, significantly expanding the airport's capacity.
