The Astana (Kazakhstan)\u2013Da Nang flight started operating at three a week in April and May and expands to six a week from June on. The Vladivostok (Russia)\u2013Da Nang flight starts at two a month and increases to three a month from May. The first Vladivostok flight on April 16 carried about 220 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both operate on a charter basis, a system that can flexibly adjust the schedule according to demand. Going forward, route expansion to Uzbekistan, Belarus, and further to Russia's Khabarovsk, Novokuznetsk, and Barnaul is also planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background\u2014over 100,000 in Q1 alone, the CIS market a new pillar of Da Nang tourism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da Nang City's international arrivals in the first quarter of 2026 were 2.3 million. Of these, visitors from the Russia and CIS region topped 100,000, accounting for about 4.35% of the total.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/vietnam-q1-record\/\">As Vietnam's overall Q1 foreign tourists reached a record high of 6.76 million,<\/a>Da Nang shows its own growth by capturing the CIS market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind this figure is a structural change in travel demand from Russia to Vietnam. As travel toward Europe faces constraints, central Vietnam, with its visa exemption and warm climate, is taking hold as a substitute resort destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">250 CIS travel companies inspect Da Nang\u2014the substance of the fam trip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the six days of April 13 to 18, a fam trip was carried out in which representatives of over 250 travel companies from the CIS region visited Da Nang. On the 17th and 18th, networking events were also held, with direct business talks conducted with Da Nang City's tourism facilities, hotels, and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A fam trip on this scale shows that Da Nang City positions the CIS market not as a mere \"trial\" but as a strategic source of visitors.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/danang-beach-season\/\">It's also linked with Da Nang's 2026 beach tourism season, which opened on April 25,<\/a>and events such as water sports and an international pizza festival were also introduced to the CIS travel companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Operation data table\u2014the outlook for April to October 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Line<\/th><th>Operation frequency (April\u2013May)<\/th><th>Operation frequency (from June)<\/th><th>Operation method<\/th><th>Travel time (guide)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Astana\u2013Da Nang<\/td><td>3 flights a week,<\/td><td>Six a week<\/td><td>Charter<\/td><td>About 7 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Vladivostok\u2013Da Nang<\/td><td>Two a month<\/td><td>Three a month<\/td><td>Charter<\/td><td>About 5 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Planned: Khabarovsk\u2013Da Nang<\/td><td>Undecided<\/td><td>Undecided<\/td><td>Charter<\/td><td>About 5.5 hours<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Planned: Uzbekistan\u2013Da Nang<\/td><td>Undecided<\/td><td>Undecided<\/td><td>Charter<\/td><td>About 6 hours<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over roughly six months from April to October, the CIS routes alone are expected to carry around 570 flights and an estimated 120,000 passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"p-blogParts post_content\" data-partsid=\"3235\">\n<style>.vghc{display:flex;gap:24px;align-items:center;border:2px solid #cdcdcd;border-radius:8px;background:#fbfbfb;background-image:linear-gradient(#ededed 1px,transparent 1px),linear-gradient(90deg,#ededed 1px,transparent 1px);background-size:22px 22px;padding:24px 26px;margin:32px 0;}.vghc-text{flex:1 1 auto;min-width:0}.vghc-banner{flex:0 0 300px;text-align:center}.vghc-banner img{max-width:100%;height:auto}.vghc-label{color:#d6453f;font-weight:800;font-size:14px;letter-spacing:.02em;margin:0 0 8px}.vghc-head{font-size:21px;font-weight:800;line-height:1.5;color:#1c1c1c;margin:0 0 11px}.vghc-desc{font-size:15px;line-height:1.85;color:#555;margin:0 0 14px}.vghc-cta{font-size:14.5px;font-weight:800;color:#1f8a5f}.vghc-adlbl{font-size:11px;color:#aaa;margin:0 0 4px}@media(max-width:600px){.vghc{flex-direction:column;align-items:stretch;gap:14px;padding:20px}.vghc-banner{flex:none}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"vghc\">\n<div class=\"vghc-text\">\n<div class=\"vghc-label\">Air tickets \"Airtrip\"<\/div>\n<div class=\"vghc-head\">Compare tickets to Vietnam and save<\/div>\n<div class=\"vghc-desc\">Ticket prices change greatly by season.

That directly boosts our occupancy rates.\" A local tour guide points out, \"Securing Russian-speaking staff is an urgent task. The demand is clearly there, but the language barrier affects service quality.\" An analyst in Vietnam's aviation sector adds, \"The charter model is highly adaptable to fluctuations in demand. Whether these become scheduled routes will depend on this year's results.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact on Japanese travelers: congestion and prices for Da Nang<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resumption of CIS routes brings several effects for Japanese travelers as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, as Da Nang's hotel occupancy rises, accommodation rates during the June\u2013September peak season may climb. Mid- to high-end hotels along My Khe Beach in particular are likely to fill up with bookings from CIS group travelers. On the flip side, the growth of restaurants and shops catering to CIS visitors makes the city more international, expanding the range of dining and shopping options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/tansonnhat-airport-digital\/\">The digital arrival card, mandatory from April 15<\/a>is required regardless of nationality, so Japanese travelers should also complete online pre-registration before flying to Da Nang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ripple effects on aviation: Vietnamese carriers race to expand international routes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resumption of Da Nang's CIS routes is part of a broader trend of international route expansion across Vietnam's aviation industry.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/vietnamairlines-summer-routes\/\">Vietnam Airlines is significantly expanding its European and Asian routes in the summer 2026 schedule,<\/a>rolling out 12 European routes including a new Hanoi\u2013Amsterdam service.<a href=\"https:\/\/vietnam-gift.com\/en\/news\/vietjet-nagoya-fukuoka\/\">VietJet launched two new routes in April, Ho Chi Minh City\u2013Nagoya and Ho Chi Minh City\u2013Fukuoka,<\/a>expanding its Japan routes alone to 138 flights per week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total passenger numbers in Vietnam's aviation market reached 24.1 million in Q1 2026 (up 16% year on year), driven by international routes at 13.9 million (up 19%).
