Philippine Airlines (PAL) has announced the launch of direct flights between Manila and Đà Nẵng, Vietnam’s dynamic central coastal city, starting July 1, 2025.
Often dubbed the “Miami of Vietnam,” Đà Nẵng is known for its modern cityscape, vibrant food scene, and stunning natural beauty. Nestled between the azure waters of the East Sea and the lush Annamite Mountains, the city serves as both a bustling urban center and a gateway to some of Vietnam’s most treasured cultural and historical sites.
“PAL is committed to offering greater connectivity and promoting tourism and commerce between our capital city and the central Vietnamese heartland,” said PAL President and COO Stanley Ng.
According to the airline, Đà Nẵng is “a lively coastal city situated close to renowned landmarks like the Marble Mountains and the Golden Bridge,” the latter famous for its massive stone hands that appear to lift the bridge into the sky.
The city also offers convenient access to UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the lantern-lit streets of Hoi An Ancient Town, the spiritual ruins of My Son Sanctuary, and the imperial grandeur of Hue.
In addition to its cultural richness, Đà Nẵng is home to popular attractions like My Khe Beach, Son Tra Peninsula, Dragon Bridge, and the charming Tran Phu Street, making it a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and discovery.
The Manila–Đà Nẵng route will be served by Airbus A321 aircraft, each accommodating 199 passengers. Flights will operate three times a week — Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays — from Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
With this new route, PAL is tapping into the growing demand for travel between the Philippines and Vietnam, offering travelers more options to explore the cultural richness and natural beauty of Southeast Asia.
