Vietjet to launch Da Nang - Osaka (Japan) route in December

On November 9, during the official visit to Japan by Party General Secretary and State President To Lam and as part of the announcement ceremony for the 2027 - 2028 Vietnam - Japan Tourism Cooperation Year, Vietjet announced the launch of its direct Da Nang - Osaka route.

The move marks another step in expanding the airline’s network between the two countries and strengthening connectivity between their dynamic tourism and economic hubs.

The route will operate four round trips per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, utilizing modern Airbus A321 aircraft.

Expected to boost two-way tourism, trade and business ties, the new air service is also aimed at enhancing Vietjet’s network between Vietnam and Japan.

With beautiful natural landscapes, distinctive cultural heritage, rich cuisine and diverse tourism offerings, Da Nang and Osaka offer visitors a wealth of unique experiences while serving as gateways to other attractive destinations.

Vietjet has operated flights to Japan since 2018. Currently, the airline runs 138 flights per week between the two countries across 22 routes, including scheduled and charter services.

To date, it has carried more than 4.8 million passengers on 27,400 flights, connecting Vietnam with 17 destinations in Japan.

Vietjet’s scheduled services connect Vietnam with six major Japanese cities: Tokyo (Narita and Haneda), Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Shizuoka.

Notably, Vietjet is currently the only airline operating direct flights on the Ha Noi - Hiroshima and Ha Noi - Shizuoka routes, helping expand direct connectivity between Vietnam and Japan’s promising regional destinations.

In addition to its scheduled network, Vietjet also operates charter flights to various other destinations across Japan, including Fukushima, Sendai, Niigata, Matsuyama, Sapporo, Komatsu, Ibaraki, Kagoshima, Aomori and Yonago, catering to increasingly diverse travel demand between the two markets.

With its steadily expanding flight network and partnerships, Vietjet aims to bring Vietnam and Japan closer together and create new development opportunities in the years ahead, Vietjet chief executive Nguyen Thanh Son said.
