Moving beyond charter flights, Thua Thien Hue is establishing a regular flight route with Taiwan (China) to Phu Bai International Airport, expected to start in early September 2024.

On January 10, the Provincial Department of Tourism coordinated with Vietjet Air, KX Group (South Korea), SMC Hue Co., Ltd. (South Korea), Hue Monuments Conservation Center, Vietravel Hue One Member Limited Company and related units to organize direct flights connecting Thua Thien Hue and Incheon (South Korea).

Since the opening of Terminal 2 at Phu Bai International Airport in April 2023, Thua Thien Hue has been able to operate international routes, though primarily in the form of charter flights. Developing these into regular commercial flights with stable frequency requires time and appropriate solutions.

The first flight with number VJ8693, from Taipei International Airport of Taiwan (China), has just landed safely at the T2 Terminal of Phu Bai International Airport at 19:30 on August 18.

Along with the departure of a direct flight from Hue to South Korea, on August 1, the Provincial Department of Tourism coordinated with Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company, SMC Hue Co., Ltd (South Korea), Phu Bai International Airport; the Provincial Tourism Association, and related units to welcome the first direct flight, connecting Thua Thien Hue with Seoul City (South Korea). This is also the first flight from Incheon International Airport (South Korea) to the new terminal of Phu Bai International Airport.

On the morning of July 2, the Provincial People's Committee directed the Department of Tourism to coordinate with Vietjet Air, Phu Bai International Airport, and other relevant units to welcome the first international flight by Vietjet Air to Terminal 2 - Phu Bai International Airport.

The direct flight connecting Hue with Incheon (South Korea) will take off on July 31. Hue's tourism sector and many travel businesses are pooling efforts to seek opportunities to develop tourism and open the market for Korean tourists in particular and international tourists in general.

On May 30, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh had a working session with the Commercial Department – Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (Vietjet) about opening new domestic and international flights to Hue.

On the morning of April 28th, an A321 aircraft with flight number VN 1370 from Vietnam Airlines carried 168 passengers from Ho Chi Minh City to Hue. This was the first flight to “inaugurate” Terminal T2 at Phu Bai International Airport.
