Originally, Lao Airlines will officially launch the direct Vientiane – Da Nang route on March 29, 2020. However, due to the complicated situation of the Covid-19 pandemic, the airline will suspend operation of this route.

Currently, flights from Da Nang to Laos must transit in Hanoi. According to the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism, there are more than 81,000 Lao visitors to Vietnam and more than 700.000 Vietnamese visitors to Laos in 2019. The opening of direct flight Vientiane Da Nang and vice versa will not only shorten the geographical distance, but also meet the increasing needs of the Lao people as well as the tourist markets that participate in tours or from the Northeastern region of Thailand to Da Nang City.

Vientiane capital is an attractive tourist destination for many tourists around the world with a lot of beautiful landscapes, historical sites and famous architectural works. From Vientiane, visitors only take 45 minutes to fly to Luang Prabang or 8 – 10 hours if traveling by road. If direct flight Vientiane - Da Nang is operated, it will be convenient to open tours, promote the development of tourism between two countries and stimulate the Da Nang tourism market.
