Phu Quoc Airport (IATA: PQC, ICAO: VVPQ) (Vietnamese: Sân bay Phú Qu?c), also known as Duong Dong Airport (Vietnamese: Sân bay D??ng ?ông), was an airport located in D??ng ?ông town, Phú Qu?c, Kiên Giang Province, Vietnam. It was located 300 km from Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City), 130 km from R?ch Giá, 190 km from C?n Th?, 200 km from Cà Mau and 540 km from Lien Khuong. Due to the economic development of the island and continuous increase in passengers, a new airport project was constructed and built in an area of 8 square kilometers on Phú Qu?c island at a cost of US$970 million. Upon completion, the airport had a paved runway of 3000 m x 50 m, capable of handling large aircraft like the Boeing 747. The new airport has a capacity of 7 million passengers per year. On 2 December 2012, Phu Quoc Airport was closed and replaced by the new Phu Quoc International Airport.

History

The airport was built by the French colonists in 1930s and further developed during the Vietnam War. The original airstrip had a 996-m-long runway. In 1975, following the fall of Saigon, this airport continued to serve commercial flights. In 1983, it was extended to 1496 m. In 1993, the runway surface was reinforced, a 148.5-m-long taxiway and an apron of 120 x 60 m were added. During 1994–1995, the new terminal was built and operated until the airport was closed in 2012.
