This new air route is expected not only to boost tourism but also to expand opportunities for trade, investment, and cultural and economic exchange. It serves as a strategic bridge, helping to promote the city on the global stage under the message, “Discover the Stories of Danang".

The introduction of four weekly direct flights between Dubai and Danang, beginning June 2, significantly enhances the city’s global connectivity, linking it to over 140 destinations across the airline’s international network. The service is expected to open up greater access to key markets with high potential, including the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Africa.
