The service will operate four times weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, making Da Nang the third Vietnamese city served by Emirates, alongside Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi, in its extensive international network.
Vice Chairman of the Da Nang City People's Committee Tran Chi Cuong said, the official launch of the Emirates flight route connecting Da Nang with Dubai marks an important milestone—a significant step forward in the city's integration process and expansion of its international aviation network.
This flight route shortens the distance between Da Nang and potential markets such as the Middle East, Europe, North America, and Africa and opens up opportunities for cooperation in trade, tourism, and investment, he noted.
Da Nang welcomed an estimated 2.2 million international visitors during the first five months of this year, marking a 36 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
So far in 2025, the city has hosted several major tourism events, including the Da Nang International Fireworks Festival (DIFF 2025) and the "Enjoy Da Nang 2025" tourism stimulus program, both drawing major interest from locals and visitors alike.
Looking ahead, Da Nang plans to diversify its tourism offerings further as it aims to welcome 11.9 million tourists this year, including 4.8 million international visitors./.
