Remote island gateway to Vietnam's pristine Con Dao archipelago.

Location
Con Dao, Vietnam
Con Dao Airport (IATA: VCS, ICAO: VVCS) serves Con Dao Island, the main island of the Con Dao archipelago in Ba Ria–Vung Tau Province, southern Vietnam. The airport provides the primary air link to this historically significant and ecologically protected island group, which was once home to notorious French colonial and South Vietnamese prisons. The airport handles a modest volume of domestic traffic, primarily connecting Con Dao with Ho Chi Minh City (Tan Son Nhat Airport). Due to the island's protected national park status and limited development, passenger volumes remain relatively low, catering mainly to tourists and government personnel. The runway and facilities are limited in scale, reflecting the island's small population and conservation-focused environment. Airlines operating here typically use smaller regional aircraft suited to the short runway.
Terminals
The airport has a single, small terminal building with basic passenger facilities appropriate for its low traffic volume.
Getting to & from
Ground transport on Con Dao is limited to taxis, motorbikes, and hotel transfers, as the island has no public bus network.
Airlines here
Vietnam Airlines and Bamboo Airways have operated routes connecting Con Dao Airport to Ho Chi Minh City.
