The Government News on March 4 quoted Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, as announcing that it will conduct four weekly services from Dubai via Bangkok to the central city of Da Nang from June 2.

Emirates' four weekly services to Da Nang make the central city the airline's third gateway into Vietnam, after Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Flights to Da Nang will operate with the Emirates’ Boeing 777 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.

The carefully timed flight schedule of the new linked service will provide travelers with convenient, optimized connections, and streamlined access to major European cities including London, Paris, Amsterdam, Manchester, Milan, and Rome, as well as major U.S. cities.

Emirates flight EK370 will depart from Dubai at 9.00 (Dubai time) and arrives in Bangkok at 18.25 (local time). The flight will then depart from Bangkok at 20.10 (local time) and arrives in Da Nang at 21.50 (local time).

The return flight EK371 will depart from Da Nang at 23.30 and arrives in Bangkok at 1.10 the next day. The flight will then take off at 3.40, arriving in Dubai at 6.50. All times are local.

Lodging facilities in the central coastal city of Da Nang are set to serve 11.9 million tourists, including 4.8 million foreigners, in 2025, annual increases of 10 per cent and 17 per cent, respectively.

As a popular tourist destination in central Vietnam, Da Nang plans to maintain its signature events in 2025 such as the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival, Da Nang Asian Film Festival, a food tour, a New Year celebration, and a beach tourism program.

The 16th fireworks festival, scheduled to run from May 31-July 12, will light up the sky in six nights and feature 10 teams for the first time.

Last year, Da Nang welcomed approximately 10.9 million visitors.

The central economic hub has a total of 90 kilometers of coastline and dozens of beaches, including stunning My Khe. Meanwhile, the city's Ngu Hanh Son (Marble Mountain) district is renowned as a center for stone sculpture art, with Non Nuoc craft village standing at the foot of the Marble Mountain.
