This is the second route linking the Van Don International Airport and China after the Van Don – Shenzhen route.

In the future, the airport, which was put into operation in late 2018, will handle more flights from China’s Hainan and Kunming.

In late 2019, more international routes connecting with Japan and Bangkok will be operated, along with those between Van Don and domestic localities of Da Nang, Kien Giang and Nha Trang.
