After recent discussions between representatives of domestic airlines and the authorities of Da Nang and Can Tho, it was announced that direct flights between the two localities will begin from 24 December.

Three Da Nang–Can Tho direct return flights, with a flight time of around 1 hour 15 minutes utilising an Airbus 321, are expected to be operated each week.  The number of flights is expected to increase to seven per week after two years.

The new service is expected to carry about 23,000 passengers during the first year.  It is hoped that this will increase to 34,000 the following year, and reach 41,000 per year in future.

VietJet Air will submit a plan to operate the new route to relevant agencies for consideration as soon as possible.
