Lao Airlines Resumes Direct Flights Between Vientiane and Da Nang

Vientiane, Laos – Lao Airlines has announced the resumption of its non-stop flight service between Vientiane and Da Nang, according to a recent news report. The flag carrier operated its first flight in over three years on Thursday, with 150 passengers on board. The direct air route had been suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Starting this week, Lao Airlines will operate two weekly flights on Thursdays and Sundays between the two cities. The resumption of the direct route is expected to meet the increasing demand of visitors in the region following the lifting of travel restrictions.

Noudeng Chanthaphasouk, the commercial director of Lao Airlines, said in a statement, “The direct route between Vientiane and Da Nang was favored by a large number of tourists before the Covid-19 outbreak. We are delighted to restart this service and contribute to the recovery of tourism in the region.”

 

According to the report, Laos was one of the top 10 sources of tourism for Da Nang in 2022, with nearly 10,000 arrivals, accounting for 2% of its total foreign visitors. Lao Airlines had already resumed its direct flight services to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City after both countries reopened tourism.

 

The resumption of Lao Airlines’ direct flight service is expected to further strengthen the tourism ties between Laos and Vietnam, providing more convenience for travelers between the two countries.
