Hong Kong Airlines launches service to Da Nang

Following the announcement of a new service to Taichung, Hong Kong Airlines has confirmed that a new direct flight service to Da Nang, Vietnam, will be commenced on the same inaugural day, 19 July. The new route will operate daily to provide travellers with a variety of choices for their summer holidays, while also serving as a gateway to explore the diverse destinations within Vietnam, a country that is an integral part of the Belt and Road Initiative. Often referred to as “The Oriental Hawaii,” Da Nang is one of the largest and most important cities in central Vietnam. From the cool retreats of Ba Na Hills and the historic and culturally diverse ancient towns, to the prime selfie spots on stunning beaches, the Pink Church, and Asia Park, coupled with a variety of traditional Vietnamese cuisine, Da Nang remains a popular destination for international tourists and is regarded as one of the hotspots for tourism in Asia. Vietjet launching flights to Nha Trang, Busan Beach lovers in Vietnam and South Korea will have more frequent and convenient travel options this summer as Vietjet is doubling the flight frequency between two of their most famous beach cities, Nha Trang and Busan. The service connecting the tropical coastal city of Nha Trang in Vietnam with Busan, South Korea’s second-largest metropolis will increase from one to twice round trips daily, starting July 19. With this addition, Vietjet will provide up to 21 return flights per day, equivalent to 147 return flights every week, between the two countries. Vietnam has become an increasingly popular destination for global travelers, including South Korean A-list celebrities, attracted to the Southeast Asia country’s stunning beaches, rich historical and cultural heritage, and gastronomy delights. Given the strong demand, Vietjet has also recently added 1.4 million seats to its domestic flight network and launched several new international routes since the start of this summer. These services connect Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, with Sydney and Melbourne in Australia, and with Hiroshima in Japan, as well as to link the “Pearl Island” of Phu Quoc to two Taiwanese cities of Kaohsiung and Taichung.
