Vietnam Airlines, which operates direct one-way flights from Tokyo to Danang, is considering launching services in the reverse direction too.
The carrier also hopes to cooperate with the city government and tour operators to attract more Japanese tourists to sustain this segment.
Vietnam Airlines and the Danang People’s Committee co-hosted a conference in the city Tuesday to promote the Danang-Tokyo service and discuss business opportunities for Vietnamese and Japanese tour operators.
Le Hong Ha, the carrier’s central region director, said there are plans to start the
Danang-Tokyo service if there is enough demand.
Vietnam Airlines began flying seven times a week on the Tokyo – Danang - HCMC sector
December 15 to accommodate demand from Japanese winter vacationers.
The program is now scheduled to run until March 31.
Japanese make up the third largest group of tourists to Vietnam after Chinese and Koreans.
