Two new international air routes from Manila, the Philippines, and Bali, Indonesia, to central Da Nang city of Vietnam have been launched, marking a significant step in expanding its connectivity across Southeast Asia.
A ceremony was held at Da Nang International Airport on March 20 to welcome the inaugural flights operated by AirAsia.
At 3:20pm, flight Z2824 of Philippines AirAsia from Ninoy Aquino International Airport landed in Da Nang with 180 passengers on board. The Manila–Da Nang route will operate four flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays using Airbus A320 aircraft.
Later the same day, at 5:55pm, flight QZ480 of Indonesia AirAsia from Ngurah Rai International Airport arrived, also carrying 180 passengers. This marks the first direct air link between Bali and Da Nang. The route will run four times weekly on the same schedule, also using Airbus A320 aircraft.
The new routes are expected to enhance Da Nang’s appeal as a regional destination while creating more opportunities to attract international visitors in the coming years.
