- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Ho Chi Minh City's airport is only 25 minutes from District 1 but is one of Asia's most saturated fields; slots and parking need lead time and landing permits take about a week. A VIP lounge serves GA passengers. Long Thanh airport (opening 2026) will add capacity.
