At noon on September 24, Malaysia Airlines, the national carrier of Malaysia, operated its first flight from Kuala Lumpur to Da Nang City, carrying 160 passengers.
Upon arrival at Da Nang International Airport, a grand welcoming ceremony was organized by the Da Nang Department of Tourism, Central Airport Authority, Da Nang International Airport, Danang International Terminal Investment and Operation JSC, and the Da Nang Tourism Association. The celebration included a water cannon salute, artistic performances, and the presentation of flowers and souvenirs to Malaysia Airlines and its passengers.

The Kuala Lumpur – Da Nang route by Malaysia Airlines will operate with a frequency of 7 flights per week using B737-800 aircraft. This brings the total frequency of flights on this route, in combination with other airlines, to 28 flights per week.
According to Mr. Tan Van Vuong, Deputy Director of the Da Nang Department of Tourism, Malaysia has consistently ranked in the top 10 international tourist markets for Da Nang. This new flight route is a tangible result of Da Nang’s leadership’s business trip to Malaysia in August, where they worked with Malaysia Airlines to promote and boost tourism.
Mr. Cao Tri Dung, Chairman of the Da Nang Tourism Association, mentioned that with the new Kuala Lumpur – Da Nang route, Malaysia has become another potential market for Da Nang. Not only has Malaysia become a major source of tourists for Da Nang, thanks to its attractive tourism products, but the opening of this direct flight route by Malaysia Airlines marks a new, deeper, and more sustainable development for Da Nang. This also serves as a bridge, helping the city expand its tourism market to other appealing global destinations.
