Vietnam Airlines will launch direct flights from the central city of Da Nang to Seoul in the Republic of Korea and Siem Reap in Cambodia on July 1 to tap the increasing numbers travelling these routes, the national flag carrier said on June 28.

Using an Airbus 321, three direct flights will connect Da Nang and Seoul on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Flights will depart from Da Nang at five minutes past midnight, and from Seoul at nine thirty AM. The Da Nang-Seoul flight time is 4 hours, and 5 hours return.

Meanwhile, an ATR-72 aircraft will fly each way on the daily Da Nang-Siem Reap route. One way will take 2 hours, 25 minutes.

These are the second and third new international direct flights Vietnam Airlines has launched this year, increasing the carrier’s total to 90 routes.

The two new routes are expected to work as transport bridges linking Vietnam with the Republic of Korea and Cambodia, contributing to promoting economic, cultural and tourism cooperation between the countries.
