The Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam (CAAV) already completed the time slot allocation to flights by Emirates to Da Nang International Airport on January 7 and granted the UAE carrier the transportation permit for the Dubai-Bangkok-Da Nang route on January 24 so that this airline can complete the application for a flight permit.

According to the CAAV, on December 27, 2024, it received a request from Emirates to confirm the 2025 summer slot schedule, with the landing and takeoff times at Da Nang International Airport proposed to be 9:50 pm and 11:55 pm (local time) to operate the Dubai - Bangkok - Da Nang route.

After receiving the airline's request, based on the coordination parameters for slot allocation, the CAAV found that the capacity in the time frame of 11:00pm - 11:55 pm (local time) already reached its limit.

Therefore, the CAAV proposed the expected takeoff time for the flight to be 10:15 pm (local time).

On January 7, Emirates agreed to the takeoff time suggested by the CAAV. At the same time, it asked the CAAV to add the landing and takeoff times its proposed on December 27 last year to the waiting slot list.

The CAAV said it will issue a flight permit to Emirates after the airline submits a complete application via the public service portal and the online single-window information system of the Ministry of Transport. The flight permit will be issued within no more than seven working days.
