Opportunities will arise for trade between Vietnam and foreign cities as other international airlines have fleshed out plans to fly to Vietnam. Da Nang city and the RoK’s Daegu city have been linked by T’way Air, a low-cost airline in the RoK, from April 2. Also, Emirates Airline will operate daily non-stop flight from Hanoi to Dubai from July 2.-VNA
