Con Dao Airport — Con Dao, Vietnam

Con Dao Airport serves the Con Dao Islands, a remote Vietnamese archipelago in the South China Sea once notorious for its colonial-era prison complex. VCS has grown in importance as the islands transformed from a historical site of hardship into a sought-after eco-tourism destination known for pristine beaches, coral reefs, and sea turtle nesting grounds. The airport's short runway, constrained by the island's terrain, limits operations to smaller aircraft flying from Ho Chi Minh City and other domestic hubs. Increasing visitor interest in Con Dao's national park and diving sites has spurred infrastructure improvements, positioning VCS as a growing gateway for sustainable tourism in southern Vietnam.
