On July 19, 2024, flight HX548 operated by Hong Kong Airlines landed at Da Nang International Airport, bringing 152 passengers from Hong Kong (China) to explore and experience the city’s tourism services.

The welcome ceremony for Hong Kong Airlines’ inaugural flight to Da Nang took place at the International Arrivals Terminal of Da Nang International Airport. The event was attended by leaders from the Da Nang Department of Tourism, the Central Airports Authority, Da Nang International Airport, Da Nang International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company, Hong Kong Airlines, and representatives from various media outlets.

Upon arrival in Da Nang, the passengers were warmly greeted with a traditional lion dance performance and received souvenirs, including traditional conical hats and other unique gifts representing Da Nang’s tourism.

The launch of Hong Kong Airlines’ daily round-trip flights between Hong Kong and Da Nang has increased the total number of weekly flights on this route to 21. Currently, two other airlines operate regular flights between Hong Kong and Da Nang: Hong Kong Express with 10 flights per week and VietJet Air with 4 flights per week.

The participation of Hong Kong Airlines not only contributes to the recovery and development of Da Nang’s international flight network but also opens up numerous opportunities to connect Da Nang with other international destinations within the region and around the world.

Mr. Gary Zhan, President of Hong Kong Airlines, shared, “We are delighted to offer passengers more travel options between the two cities. In addition to young travelers eager to explore new destinations, business professionals can also utilize Hong Kong Airlines’ network to travel globally. The Hong Kong-Da Nang route not only expands our network in Southeast Asia but also strengthens Hong Kong’s position as an international transit hub.”

Hong Kong Airlines, a major international airline based in Hong Kong, was established in 2006 with its headquarters at Hong Kong International Airport. The airline primarily operates and develops routes within the region between Hong Kong, China, and Vietnam.

The new Da Nang route underscores Hong Kong Airlines’ commitment to expanding its network in Southeast Asia, supporting the Belt and Road Initiative by enhancing connectivity and facilitating cultural and economic exchanges between regions. This strategic expansion aims to provide travelers with more diverse travel options while promoting trade and tourism.

Hong Kong Airlines continues to explore new travel hotspots, reinforcing its dedication to offering a broad range of destinations for its customers. The new daily service to Da Nang is expected to boost tourism and provide a convenient gateway for travelers looking to explore the rich landscapes and cultural landmarks of Vietnam.
