Ban Huoeisay Airport

Ban Huoeisay Airport (IATA: HOE, ICAO: VLHS) serves Huay Xai, the capital of Bokeo Province in northwestern Laos, situated near the border with Thailand along the Mekong River. The airport provides essential air connectivity for a remote region that would otherwise rely heavily on river crossings and overland routes. The airport operates domestic routes primarily through Lao Airlines, linking Huay Xai to Vientiane and other Lao cities. It plays an important role for travelers visiting the nearby Nam Kan National Protected Area and those crossing into Chiang Khong, Thailand via the Fourth Mekong International Bridge. The facility is modest in size and infrastructure, reflecting the scale of passenger demand in this relatively small provincial city, but it remains a key transport node for Bokeo Province.
