The NàSản Airport () is an airport in Mai Sán District, Sán La Province, Vietnam. Currently, there are no scheduled services to NàSản.
NàSản Airport was built in 1950 by the French as part of their army outpost in NàSản. Initially, the airport had a short clay airstrip but it was then extended and paved with pierced steel planking to be able to handle larger planes like the Douglas DC-3. In October 1952, the outpost was fortified to create a hedgehog defense against the Viet Minh forces in what was to become the Battle of NàSản. After the battle ended in December 1952, the French retained control of the region. In August 1953, French forces withdrew from the outpost and NàSản Airport was abandoned afterward.
Under the Democratic Republic of Vietnam authority, the airport resumed operations in 1958 when Vietnam Civil Aviation started flying from HanoiâÂÂGia Lâm to NàSản and ÃÂiá»Ân Biên by Antonov An-2. After the Reunification of Vietnam, the airport opened from 1994 until May 2004 when it was closed for "upgrades and maintenance". Since then, the airport has been disused.
There are currently no scheduled services to NàSản as the airport is closed. In January 2015, an upgrade was proposed for the airport. According to the modified plan for 2020 with vision to 2030, the airport would become a mixed-use domestic airport capable of handling 900,000 passengers a year by 2020 and 1.5 million by 2030, its single runway would be extended to . However, NàSản Airport was dropped from the modified planning of Vietnam's air transport development released in February 2018. This leaves ÃÂiá»Ân Biên Phủ Airport, west of NàSản, the sole airport of Vietnam's Northwest region while NàSản Airport's future remains unclear.
In February 2021, Son La Province People's Committee submitted a request to the Ministry of Transport to add NàSản Airport to the priority investment list from 2021 to 2030, stated the airport has "significant strategic importance to national defense". Its sister airport in the Northwest Region, ÃÂiá»Ân Biên Phủ Airport has a very short runway and sits in the middle of a basin, which leads to the inability to lengthen the runway, which rendered the airport unable to accommodate large aircraft, both commercial (such as the A320 and similar) and military (fighter jets such as the Su-22 and the Su-30MK2V) and transport aircraft (such as the C-295). In August 2022, the Son La Province People's Committee officially submitted the proposal to the prime minister and the Vietnamese government for review.
