DNO - With a sharp increase in international flights, expanded air connectivity, and the return of major global airlines, Da Nang has been strengthening its position as an aviation hub in Southeast Asia, creating fresh momentum for tourism growth and international market expansion.
Impressive figures
According to the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, the city currently has 26 domestic and international air routes. The domestic network comprises eight routes connecting Da Nang with Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi, Nha Trang, Buon Ma Thuot, Hai Phong, Can Tho, Da Lat, and Phu Quoc.
Internationally, Da Nang is connected by 18 routes linking the city with major destinations, including Bangkok (Thailand); Singapore; Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia); Taipei and Kaohsiung (Taiwan, China); Macau and Hong Kong (China); Siem Reap (Cambodia); Incheon, Busan, Daegu, and Cheongju (South Korea); Narita and Osaka (Japan); Manila (the Philippines); Ahmedabad (India); Yangon (Myanmar); and Dubai.
In 2025, the total number of flights to Da Nang exceeded 48,000, representing a 12.4% year-on-year increase. Of this total, international flights reached over 20,200, up 6.7%, while domestic flights were 28,000, a rise of 16.9%.
The average number of international flights to Da Nang stood at 56 per day, an increase of four flights per day compared to 2024.
The year also marked the launch of several new air routes from Yangon (Myanmar), the Dubai - Bangkok - Da Nang route, and three long-term charter services from Astana and Almaty (Kazakhstan), Tashkent (Uzbekistan), and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia). Also, a number of previously suspended routes were restored, notably from Bangkok (Thailand) and Osaka (Japan) to Da Nang.
Notably, in early October 2025, China Southern Airlines, one of China’s leading airlines, resumed operations on the Shenzhen - Da Nang route after a long period of suspension. This move was considered as a positive sign for the city’s tourism sector, particularly in revitalizing the Chinese inbound market.
2025 also saw the entry of several new airlines operating flights to Da Nang, including Myanmar Airways, Philippines Airlines, Emirates, Scoot Airlines, and Parata Air.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Thien, Deputy Director of the Hai Van Cat International Travel Company, remarked the opening of new air routes has helped Da Nang reduce its reliance on traditional tourist markets, creating a more balanced and resilient tourism structure. It has also enabled the city to access emerging markets such as Russia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, while enhancing its international profile.
A more comprehensive promotion strategy
This year, the city plans to further expand cooperation with airlines and strategic partners to maintain and increase flight frequencies, diversify routes, and continue operating charter services from Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).
Mrs. Nguyen Thi Hong Tham, Director of the Da Nang Tourism Promotion Center, emphasized that air transport remained the primary gateway for visitors to the city. Da Nang International Airport continues to serve as a strategic aviation hub, connecting major domestic centers such as Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi, Nha Trang, and Buon Ma Thuot.
During the peak travel period from December 2025 to February 2026, Da Nang is expected to handle an average of 140 - 142 flights per day, with a significant increase in passengers from South Korea, Japan, Singapore, and the Philippines due to strong demand during the Christmas and New Year holiday season. This period is considered a “golden window” for the city to implement promotional activities and connect with international markets.
The local tourism sector aims to open an additional one to two international routes to Chu Lai Airport, while maintaining and expanding its existing international flight network.
The city will also strengthen linkages between domestic and international routes to increase transit passenger numbers, particularly from Northeast Asia, a region experiencing rapid growth in both flight frequency and travel demand.
