Con Son or Con Dao Airport (VCS) – Vietnam Private Jet Company
Explore Con Son Airport and Its Enchanting Significance
1. Location and Strategic Charm
Nestled in the North-Northeast of Con Son Island, Con Son Airport (IATA: VCS, ICAO: VVCS) is just 12 kilometers from the heart of Con Dao District in Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province. This charming island paradise is part of an archipelago of 16 islands off Vietnam’s southern coast. Spanning 76.78 square kilometers, Con Dao is a true gem in the Gulf of Thailand.
Con Dao’s prime location adds a unique flavor to its allure. It’s a hotspot for diverse tourism experiences—think breathtaking ecotours, rich cultural explorations, and luxurious resort stays. But there’s more! Con Dao sits on a key international shipping route between Europe and Asia, right amid vibrant fishing grounds and close to significant oil and gas areas. This makes the island a star player in terms of security, defense, and economic growth.
With its immense potential, Con Dao is set for a dazzling transformation. The Con Dao General Planning Project, green-lighted by the Government, sets the stage for a thriving marine economy and tourism boom, putting Ba Ria – Vung Tau Province on the map like never before.
2. A Journey Through History
Con Son Airport has a rich history that adds to its charm. Built by the French in 1947, it was later enhanced by the Americans for military purposes during the Vietnam War. Today, it boasts a runway of 1,150 meters and a taxiway of 80 meters, with a 7,200-square-meter aircraft parking area, all with a classic asphalt-impregnated stone finish.
Back in the day, Vasco aircraft were the only way to reach Con Dao from the mainland. Fast forward to today, and JetVina has taken air travel to new heights!

With the previous infrastructure conditions of Con Son Airport, the reception of fixed-wing aircraft was not possible. Therefore, implementing the investment and stimulus policy of the Government, the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam allowed the Southern Airports Group to start the project “Renovation and upgrading of Con Son Airport – Phase 1” on July 7, 2003, and complete it on January 5, 2004, to ensure that the airport can receive civil aircraft such as ATR 72 and equivalent, and at the same time ensure the exploitation of existing military aircraft.
After the project “Renovation and upgrading of Con Son Airport” was started in July 2003 and by the end of 2004, the construction items were completed and put into operation, Con Son Airport has a runway measuring 1,830 meters long and 30 meters wide; A new taxiway is 80m long and 15m wide; The civil aviation area’s aircraft parking area has been renovated and expanded to an area of 9,270m2 with 2 parking positions for ATR 72 and Fokker 70.
On July 3, 2004, the Southern Airports Group started construction of Con Son Airport Terminal and completed it before the Lunar New Year of the Rooster (2005). The passenger terminal was built with the capacity to serve 180 passengers/peak hour with a total terminal area of 2,777m2, including 2 floors (1 ground floor, 1 mezzanine).

5. Con Dao Airport Upgrade and Expansion Project
Vietnam government made a plan on the upgrade and expansion of Co Ong airport with a designed catering capacity of 4-5 million passengers a year, ten times more than the current capacity.
The project will invest in expanding and upgrading the existing runway structure according to the plan with a size of 1,830mx45m; building a new parallel taxiway and connecting taxiways; adding items to ensure safety in night lighting operations; a synchronous landing equipment system to effectively exploit code C aircraft (such as A319, A320neo/CEO, B737-7/8 and equivalent) by the direction of the Prime Minister and according to the plan.
