Vietnamese airlines resume Da Nang – Guangzhou/Hong Kong routes
VOV.VN - Vietnamese airlines have resumed two direct air routes connecting the central city of Da Nang to Guangzhou and Hong Kong (China) after a period of temporary suspension caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first VN-549 charter flight of national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, departing from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, landed at Da Nang International Airport at midnight on July 3.
According to Vietnam Airlines, it operates three weekly flights on the route on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays using Airbus A321s. The flights are scheduled to depart from Guangzhou at 9:40 p.m. and land in Da Nang at 22:55 p.m.
This is a positive signal for Da Nang’s tourism industry as its main source market is China.
Previously, budget carrier VietJet Air relaunched its direct services from the beach towns of Da Nang and Phu Quoc to Hong Kong (China) amid a tourism rebound.
There are three weekly flights running on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on the Phu Quoc-Hong Kong route, with a one-way fare starting at VND90,000, equal to US$3.80.
