After more than five months of suspending the Lien Khuong – Da Nang route (and vice versa), Vietnam Airlines (VNA) will resume this route starting June 1st.
On May 16th, Mr. Ngo Minh Tien, Deputy Manager in charge of VNA’s Da Lat branch (Lam Dong), announced that after several months of suspension, the Lien Khuong – Da Nang route will be reopened on June 1st.
From June 1, VNA reopens the Lien Khuong – Da Nang flight
According to Mr. Tien, the reopening of the Lien Khuong – Da Nang route is based on the recommendations from the leaders of Lam Dong province. After consideration, the Vietnam Airlines Corporation approved a frequency of 3 flights per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
The scheduled departure time from Da Nang is at 3:30 PM, arriving at 4:45 PM; from Lien Khuong, departure is at 5:25 PM, arriving at 6:35 PM.
For several months, other routes between Da Lat and five localities – Da Nang, Vinh, Hai Phong, Phu Quoc, and Can Tho – have not been maintained. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Phuc, Vice Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee, stated that Lam Dong hopes VNA will increase domestic flights to Lien Khuong in the near future.
Additionally, Lam Dong is currently upgrading the Lien Khuong International Airport to accommodate international flights. Therefore, the province proposes that VNA increase international charter flights and enhance the promotion of Da Lat’s image on VNA’s routes, even those not connecting to Da Lat, to boost trade and tourism activities.
