Vietjet General Deputy Director Nguyen Duc Thinh was quoted as saying that the new flights would meet travel demands from Japan to Viet Nam especially to the central region such as Da Nang, Hoi An, Hue, and Quang Binh province.
The central city also hosted transit flights linking the Da Nang with Fukuoka, Sapporo and Sendai and Niigata, Japan.
National flag carrier Viet Nam Airlines and budget Jetstar Pacific Airlines already operate direct flights from Da Nang to Narita and Osaka.
