Cam Ranh International Airport, also known as Cam Ranh Air Base, lies on the coast of Khanh Hoa province in south-central Vietnam, serving the resort city of Nha Trang. It offers a single long, ILS-equipped runway capable of handling large jet traffic, reflecting its dual heritage as both a major air base and a modern international gateway.
Cam Ranh International Airport, carrying the ICAO code VVCR and IATA code CXR, sits at Cam Ranh in Khanh Hoa province on the south-central coast of Vietnam. The field operates as a large international airport with scheduled airline service, and its historic designation as an air base points to a long-standing military role alongside its civil function. For a visiting VFR pilot, the airfield's single very long hard-surfaced runway and instrument approach make it a straightforward, if busy, destination on the Vietnamese coast.
The airport is located at Cam Ranh, in Tinh Khanh Hoa (Khanh Hoa province), Vietnam, close to the city of Nha Trang, which it primarily serves. No further detail on airspace classification, FIR boundaries or surrounding controlled airspace is available from the sources at hand.
Cam Ranh has a single physical runway aligned 02/20, some 9,976 feet long with a hard surface and runway lighting. The 02L end is equipped with an ILS approach, making it the primary instrument runway; the reciprocal 20R end is lit but without a published instrument approach. The field elevation is 26 feet.
An ILS approach serves runway 02L, but no specific communications frequencies, navaid identifiers or ATC callsigns are recorded in the available data.
No published joining or circuit procedures, circuit heights, or noise abatement restrictions are available from the sources consulted.
No visual reporting points or specific landmark references are given in the sources available.
The airfield's continued designation as Cam Ranh Air Base alongside its civil airport name points to a long history of military use, though no further historical detail is available from the sources consulted.
Cam Ranh operates today as a large international airport with scheduled airline service, supporting the nearby city of Nha Trang and the wider Khanh Hoa coastal region. Further operational details such as fuel availability, operating hours, or PPR requirements are not covered in the available sources.
