History
Tourane Airport was built by the French colonial government in the 1930s as a civilian airport. During World War II, and the Japanese occupation of French Indochina, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force used it as a military air base.

The airport was used by the French Air Force during the French Indochina War (1945–1954). In 1953/54 the French laid a NATO-standard 7,800-foot (2,400 m) asphalt runway at Tourane.

During the Vietnam War (1959–1975), the facility was known as Da Nang Air Base, and was a major United States military base. The airport was expanded to 2,350 acres with two 10,000-foot (3,048 m) asphalt runways.

In 2006, Da Nang Airport reached one million passengers per year. A new passenger terminal opened in December 2011 with 4-6 million passenger capacity.
