Hong Kong Dragon Airlines Limited (Dragonair) plans to launch a direct air route between Hong Kong and the central city of Danang o­n March 28.

Dragonair will operate three flights departing from Hong Kong (China) to Danang (Vietnam) a week - o­n Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.

The new route will expand Dragonair’s Asian network and provide passengers travelling to Vietnam with more options.

Danang is the airline’s second Vietnamese destination. Dragonair currently operates 10 flights a week from Hong Kong to Hanoi.

Dragonair’s parent company Cathay Pacific conducts 16 flights a week between Hong Kong and Ho Chi Minh City.

Dragonair Chief Executive Officer Patrick Yeng said Vietnam is an increasingly important economic and tourist destination. He believes the new Danang route will lure more Hong Kong tourists to Vietnam, and vice versa.
