 airport, former air force base

In the Vietnam War, this airfield was an airbase of the United States Marines. The airport was nearly abandoned after the fall of Saigon, and only used irregularly for military flights. On March 22, 2004, the construction of the terminal began and on March 22, 2005, the first commercial flight from Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport landed here.

As of 2008, Chu Lai International Airport is the largest airfield in Vietnam in terms of area, covering 30 km². The runway is 3050 m long. During the Vietnam War, large aircraft including B-52s landed and took off here

This is the former airstrip at Chu Lai. It had paved runways and was used to launch F-4 Phantoms, along with assorted other fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.
