Van Don International Airport (VDO)

Van Don International Airport or Ha Long Airport is an airport in Van Don District, Quang Ninh Province, Vietnam. It is located about 50 km away from Ha Long. Having started its activity as a fully functioning airport towards the end of 2018, Van Don offers flights to an extensive list of, mainly Asian, airports including Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam), Seoul-Incheon (South Korea) and Shenzhen (Hong Kong). So unless you are arriving in Van Don from a city within Eastern Asia, you will most likely be flying to a different airport. If your plane is, however, landing at Van Don, there is a public shuttle bus service available from the airport to Ha Long and back.
