Vietnam Airlines to launch direct route from Da Nang to Bangkok

Hanoi, The Gulf Observer: National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines on September 28 announced that it plans to launch a direct route between the central coastal city of Da Nang and Thailand’s Bangkok in November.

This move materialises the outcomes of talks between Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chinh and his Thai counterpart Srettha Thavisin on the sidelines of the recent high-level week of the 78th United Nations General Assembly in New York, where the latter proposed the opening of additional flight routes between the two countries.

According to Dao Truong Luu, head of Vietnam Airlines representative office in Thailand, the opening of the new route aims to realise the desires of the two nations’ leaders. This is also a practical action by the carrier to mark the 10th anniversary of the Vietnam-Thailand strategic partnership.

Luu unveiled that Vietnam Airlines is actively coordinating with relevant authorities to launch the route linking the Da Nang international airport to Bangkok-based Don Mueang international airport in early November.

The airline now operates six daily direct flights connecting the capital city of Hanoi and HCM City with Bangkok via the Suvarnabhumi International Airport. The Da Nang-Bangkok route is expected to better meet the diverse needs of passengers and contribute to the development of cultural, economic, political, and social exchanges between the two countries.
