About Dong Hoi Airport

Overview

Dong Hoi Airport serves the Quang Binh Province in central Vietnam, situated at coordinates 17.515000, 106.590556. As a medium-sized airport with an elevation of 59 feet mean sea level, it provides critical regional transportation infrastructure for commercial and potentially military aviation operations in this coastal area.

Flying Conditions

The airport's low elevation of 59 ft MSL indicates a relatively flat coastal environment typical of central Vietnamese terrain. While specific local meteorological data is not provided, pilots should anticipate potential maritime weather influences given the airport's proximity to the South China Sea, which can generate variable wind and visibility conditions.

Notable Features

The airport features a single runway (11/29) measuring 7,874 feet constructed with concrete (CON) surface. Its substantial runway length suggests capability for medium-sized commercial aircraft operations and potentially supports regional jet and turboprop traffic in the Dong Hoi region.

Approach Considerations

With a runway oriented at 110/290 degrees, pilots should be prepared for approaches aligned with this heading. The concrete runway's length of 7,874 feet provides adequate distance for most regional aircraft types, offering reasonable operational flexibility for landings and departures in various meteorological conditions.
