Vietjet has announced a new direct flight route between Da Nang and Osaka, set to commence on 20 December 2026. This development was revealed during Vietnam’s General Secretary and President To Lam's official visit to Japan. The route aims to strengthen tourism and trade ties as part of the Vietnam–Japan Tourism Cooperation Year 2027–2028.
The new service will operate four round-trip flights weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays using Airbus A321 aircraft. This expansion is expected to enhance air connectivity, boost visitor flows, and foster cooperation between businesses and localities in both countries. Da Nang and Osaka, known for their rich cultural heritage and diverse tourism offerings, serve as key gateways to other destinations.
Since 2018, Vietjet has expanded its network to Japan, now operating 138 flights weekly across 22 routes. The airline connects Vietnam with six major Japanese cities, including Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, and offers charter flights to other destinations like Fukushima and Sapporo.
Vietjet CEO Nguyen Thanh Son emphasised the importance of tourism as a bridge between cultures, stating, “Vietjet is proud to contribute to this journey by expanding air connectivity between our two countries.”
With this new route, Vietjet continues to play a pivotal role in fostering closer ties between Vietnam and Japan, promising further opportunities for development and cooperation in the future.
