Vietjet Launches New Direct Da Nang–Osaka Route from December 2026

Da Nang is set to strengthen its international connectivity with Japan as Vietjet announces a new direct flight route between Da Nang and Osaka, offering travellers greater convenience and new opportunities to explore both destinations.

Vietjet has officially announced a new direct air route connecting Da Nang, Vietnam, with Osaka, Japan, with scheduled operations beginning on 20 December 2026.

The new service will operate four round-trip flights per week, every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, using Airbus A321 aircraft. The additional connection is expected to make travel between the two cities more convenient, supporting tourism, business activities and cultural exchange between Vietnam and Japan.

Strengthening Da Nang–Japan Connectivity

Osaka is one of Japan’s major economic and tourism centres, attracting visitors with its vibrant city life, renowned food culture and access to popular destinations across the Kansai region.

For travellers departing from Da Nang, the new direct route will provide easier access to Osaka and nearby attractions, including Kyoto, Kobe and Nara. Meanwhile, Japanese visitors will have a more convenient way to discover Central Vietnam, from Da Nang’s beaches and cultural attractions to the heritage town of Hoi An.

The route is also expected to support stronger tourism cooperation between the two countries, particularly ahead of the Vietnam–Japan Tourism Cooperation Year 2027–2028.

Vietjet Continues Expanding Its Japanese Network

Vietjet has been operating scheduled flights to Japan since 2018 and has steadily expanded its presence in the market.

According to the airline, its Vietnam–Japan network currently covers 22 routes, including scheduled and charter services, connecting passengers with 17 destinations in Japan. The carrier operates approximately 138 flights per week between the two countries and has transported more than 4.8 million passengers across 27,400 flights.

Its scheduled services currently connect Vietnam with six major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Shizuoka.

A Positive Development for Da Nang Tourism

The launch of the Da Nang–Osaka route represents another important step in strengthening the city’s international air connectivity.

With its beaches, diverse culinary scene, cultural heritage and growing tourism infrastructure, Da Nang continues to attract international visitors. Improved direct connections with Japan could help diversify the city’s visitor markets while creating more opportunities for local tourism businesses, hospitality providers and travel operators.

For travellers planning a trip between Vietnam and Japan, the new route will offer another convenient option just in time for the year-end holiday season.
