Nong Khang is a domestic airport in Houaphanh province, Laos. Construction began in 2013 but stalled for many years due to lack of funds. Construction was completed in 2023.[1]

35km from the provincial capital of Xam Neua, the airport is served by Lao Airlines and Lao Skyway with flights to Vientiane. It can accommodate aircraft such as the ATR 72 and Xi'an MA-60.[1]

This airport replaces the older, smaller Nathong Airport, which was constrained in its size and liable to flight cancellations due to fog.[2]
