Vietjet to launch new route connecting Nha Trang with RoK’s Daegu
Private carrier Vietjet announced its new route linking the central province of Khanh Hoa’s Nha Trang beach city to the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s Daegu city at the Vietnam-RoK culture-tourism cooperation promotion forum held in Seoul on July 1.
The route is scheduled to commence on October 27, with seven round-trip flights each week.
According to a Vietjet spokesperson, Daegu is one of RoK’s largest cities, featuring popular tourist attractions such as the Palgongsan Mountain, Cosmos Fields, Apsan Park, Woobang Tower, Daegu Arboretum, Mangwoo Park, and Gyeongsan-gamyeong Park. Meanwhile, Nha Trang is a world-renowned coastal city, known for its mild climate, rich culture, and diverse cuisine.
Since 2014, the carrier has transported 10 million passengers on more than 37 scheduled and charter routes between the two countries. Vietjet currently operates the highest number of air routes between the two sides, connecting Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Da Lat with major Korean cities such as Seoul, Busan, and Daegu.
In 2023, Vietnam welcomed 12.6 million international visitors, including 3.6 million from the RoK, making it the largest foreign tourist market of the Southeast Asian nation.
