Qatar Airways to open direct flights to Da Nang

It will offer four-times weekly flights with a Boeing 787-8 aircraft, featuring 22 seats in Business Class and 232 seats in Economy Class.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said this new direct route demonstrates our commitment to expanding our presence in the Far East, a highly-important market for Qatar Airways.

Last year, it began direct services to HCM City, and launched its Ha Noi service in 2010.

Currently, the airline provides twice-daily direct flights to Viet Nam’s capital city and 10 times weekly flights to HCM City.

Da Nang expects the new air route will help promote trade, investment and tourism between the central region and the Middle East.

In October 2017, Qatar Airways announced its interline partnership with Vietnamese low-cost airline Vietjet Air, allowing Qatar Airways’ passengers to travel to and from points in Viet Nam not served directly by Qatar Airways using a single reservation across both airlines’ networks.

The number of travellers to the city has been increasing each year, with an average annual growth of 20.06% between 2013 and 2017.
