History

First Indochina War

During the war Cat Bi Air Base was used by French Air Force ({{lang|fr|Armée de l'air}}), units based there included:

  • Group de Chasse 2/22 Languedoc equipped with the F8F Bearcat[2]{{self-published inline|certain=yes|date=December 2017}}
  • Bomber Squadron 1/19 Gascogne equipped with the B-26 Invader
  • Bomber Squadron 1/25 Tunisie equipped with the B-26

The base was also used by French Naval Aviation ({{lang|fr|Aéronavale}}), units based there included:

  • Flotille 28F equipped with the PB4Y-2 Privateer[3]
  • the air groups of the carriers Arromanches and Bois Belleau

On the night of 6/7 March 1954 the Viet Minh attacked the base destroying 1 B-26 and 6 Morane-Saulnier MS.500 Criquets.[4]

During the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, the base was used by the CIA-backed Civil Air Transport to fly cargo missions to the besieged French base. Cat Bi-based CAT aircraft flew a total of 682 missions to Điện Biên Phủ between 13 March and 6 May 1954.[5]

Vietnam War

During the war the base was used by the Vietnam People's Air Force. On 9 January and 10 February 1968 United States jets attacked the base.[6]

In early 1973 US C-130 aircraft flew into Cat Bi to deliver minesweeping equipment as part of Operation End Sweep.[7]

Expansion

Vietnam has announced a new master plan to upgrade the airport with a 3,050-meter second runway, a new terminal, and a new apron by 2015. The existing runway will also be upgraded. After the expansion, the airport will be capable of serving up to 4–5 million passengers a year.[8]

The first phase of the project was completed in May 2016, enabling this airport a capacity of 2 million passengers per year.

The new terminal and new runway were opened on 12 May 2016, the airport can serve the Boeing 767, Airbus A350 XWB and similar aircraft.
