On October 31st, the Da Nang Department of Tourism and Vietjet Air welcomed the first direct flight between Tokyo’s central airport of Haneda and Vietnam’s central city of Da Nang.
The inaugural ceremony for the direct flight
The Da Nang - Tokyo (Haneda) route will operate daily return services from October 30th, 2019.
With a flight time of approximately five hours and thirty minutes per leg, the flight departs Da Nang at 18h10 and lands in Tokyo at 01h00; the return flight departs from Tokyo at 02h30 and arrives in Da Nang at 06h40 (all local times).
Of the four other direct routes between Vietnam and Japan, Vietjet has linked Ho Chi Minh city and Hanoi to both Tokyo (Narita) and Osaka.
Speaking at the launch ceremony, Vietjet Vice President Nguyen Duc Thinh said: “The new route will help travelers from Japan easily discover phenomenal destinations in central Vietnam such as Da Nang, the ancient town of Hoi An, the former imperial citadel in Hue city, Quang Binh, and many more wonderful places in Vietnam and across the Asian region.”
In return, travelers and local people in central Vietnam can now fly directly to Japan and other destinations throughout the world via Haneda without having to travel to other big cities as in the past.
On this occasion, the carrier also offered VND0 tickets which runs every Saturday from now until 31st March, 2020 at the carrier’s website, and applies to all five routes to Japan./.
