The tourists were warmly welcomed by the Da Nang Department of Tourism, Da Nang International Airport, and Da Nang International Terminal Investment and Operation Joint Stock Company with traditional art performances, mascots, flowers, and souvenirs.
According to Nguyen Thi Phuong, president of Prestige DMC Vietnam, this is a charter flight from Tashkent to Da Nang, jointly organized by Prestige DMC Vietnam, Red Island Company, Centrium Air Airways, and Uzbekistan-based travel agency Prestige Travel.
In the initial period, there is one flight a week on the route. Starting from June 2025, the frequency is expected to increase to two flights per week.
Nguyen Thi Hoai An, deputy director of the Da Nang Department of Tourism, said that opening a direct route between Tashkent and Da Nang demonstrates the strong appeal of the Vietnamese city and creates opportunities to attract more visitors from high-potential markets.
