Vietnam launches Cam Ranh-Dong Hoi air service

The inaugural flight from Khanh Hoa’s Cam Ranh International Airport landed at Dong Hoi Airport in Quang Tri at 3:30 pm, carrying 172 passengers, including Tran Phong, secretary of the Khanh Hoa Party Committee, representatives of Khanh Hoa authorities and travel businesses.

The welcome ceremony was also attended by Tran Vu Khiem, permanent deputy secretary of the Quang Tri Party Committee, along with leaders of the provincial administration and relevant agencies.

This new route connects two destinations with complementary tourism strengths.

Khanh Hoa is famous for beaches, islands, resorts, and international services, while Quang Tri is known for heritage, revolutionary history, eco-tourism, and natural wonders such as the Phong Nha-Ke Bang cave system.

The route is expected to boost tourism, trade, and investment between the south-central and north-central regions.

Businesses from Khanh Hoa and neighboring provinces will gain easier access to Quang Tri’s market, while Quang Tri can showcase its potential, products, and investment environment to investors and businesses from southern Vietnam.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways will operate three round-trip flights per week on the route on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

Flights from Cam Ranh to Dong Hoi will depart at 2:05 pm and arrive at 3:30 pm, while flights from Dong Hoi to Cam Ranh will depart at 12:05 pm and arrive at 1:25 pm.

Sun PhuQuoc Airways, a subsidiary under Vietnamese conglomerate Sun Group, also operates a daily round trip between Dong Hoi and Hanoi.

The new Cam Ranh-Dong Hoi route is expected to strengthen Quang Tri’s air transport network, supporting the province’s tourism growth and economic cooperation in the years to come.
