Tuy Hoa Airport (IATA: TBB, ICAO: VVTH) is located at Phú Yên ward, just south of former Tuy Hòa city within the Đắk Lắk province, along the central coast of southern Vietnam.
It was built in 1966 for the United States Air Force as Tuy Hoa Air Base. It was used by the U.S. Air Force (1966–70) and U.S. Army (1970-71), during the Vietnam War. It was transferred to the Republic of Vietnam in 1971, and came under Communist control after the South Vietnamese collapse of 1975.
