This improvement, among others, helped the Hanoi airport wind up on Sleeping in Airports' 2015 list of the best airports in Asia – the same website that had placed it among the worst the year before.
Noi Bai, 45 km (28 miles) north of Hanoi and the country's second biggest after Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City, was considered among the worst in Asia in 2014 by the survey site The Guide to Sleeping in Airports, which said the airport lacked basic facilities, with poor air conditioning and limited flight information display.
In late 2014, Noi Bai opened its second terminal after an investment of $900 million, and a new highway link, nearly doubling annual capacity to 22 million passengers.
