This new air route operates 7 flights per week. In detail, the flights take off from the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport at 9:45 am and land at the Da Nang International Airport at 11:40am. Meanwhile, the return flights depart from Da Nang at 2.10pm and arrive in Taiwan at 6.05pm (all in local times).

The Airbus 321-200 airplanes are utilised on the new air route. The jets will have 8 business class cabins and 176 economy seats, accommodating up to 184 passengers. 

This new route not only helps Taipei travellers find it more convenient to make trips to Da Nang but it also brings those from the North American market operated by the EVA Air to the central Vietnamese city.

Currently, there are a total of 17 scheduled and 23 charter nonstop international air routes into Da Nang from destinations worldwide.
