Korean Air is offering non-stop flights between Da Nang and Busan with 21 flights per week. It said the new route, which uses the Boeing B737-900, will help meet the increasing demand of tourists from Korea to visit the central city.

Korean Air is operating 20 flights connecting Vietnamese localities with Korea, including two daily flights from Incheon to Da Nang.

Both Vietnamese and Korean budget airlines have operated flights between Korean cities and Da Nang since 2014.

National flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines, has operated a Da Nang-Busan route, with two flights per week, since 2013.
