Cà Mau Airport guide

Cà Mau Airport is a small regional airfield in Cà Mau, the capital of Vietnam's southernmost province. The French built the field, and the Republic of Vietnam's aviation bureau rebuilt it in 1962. It served only military flights after 1975. Civil flights resumed in April 1995, and a new terminal of 1,548 square metres began construction in December 2003.

The airport has a single runway, 09/27, about 1,500 metres long and 30 metres wide. That length suits turboprops such as the ATR 72. Vietnam Airlines, through its subsidiary VASCO, has flown the route to Ho Chi Minh City. Traffic has been modest, at roughly 200,000 passengers a year.

The airport was closed on 30 October 2025 so the Airports Corporation of Vietnam could build a new 2,400-metre runway able to take Airbus A320 and A321 jets. The upgraded terminal is planned for 500,000 passengers a year. The closure is scheduled to run to 31 October 2026, so check the current status with the airline before travelling.
