According to Lao Dong, the continuous expansion of new flight routes is an effective stimulus strategy, attracting more and more foreign tourists to Da Nang .

According to the plan, Da Nang expects the number of visitors in 2026 to reach 19.5 million, an increase of 12% compared to 2025. Of which, international visitors will reach about 8.9 million (up 17%) and domestic visitors will reach about 10.6 million (up 8%). Total revenue from accommodation, food and tourism is expected to reach more than 71,000 billion VND, an increase of nearly 19% compared to the previous year.

On the evening of November 24, 2025, Parata Air flight number WE201 departing from Incheon International Airport (South Korea) landed at Da Nang International Airport carrying 291 passengers. Notably, Da Nang is the first destination in Vietnam chosen by Parata Air to operate.

After more than 5 years of suspension, the direct flight connecting the technology and financial center of Shenzhen (China) with Da Nang has resumed. In October 2025, Vietjet Air launched a flight connecting the capital Kuala Lumpur with the coastal city of Da Nang, the third flight connecting Malaysia and Vietnam.

In 2025, direct charter flights from Astana, Almaty (Kazakhstan) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan) will be put into operation with a frequency of 16 flights/week.

This will initially contribute to facilitating tourists and promoting growth of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) market.
