RoK is the first country to reopen direct flights to Da Lat after an over-two-year disruption due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In July, an international flight from RoK's Incheon landed at Lam Dong province’s Lien Khuong International Airport. The charter flight of Korean Air carried 141 passengers who spent five days and four nights in Da Lat City.
From December 20, Vietjet Air also started selling tickets for commercial flights between Da Lat and Incheon with a frequency of four flights per week and reoperated charter flights between Da Lat and Rok’s Muan city with two flights per week.
A street carnival was held on Tuesday at Lam Vien square in Da Lat as part of the activities of the ongoing Da Lat Flower Festival 2022 with the participation of foreign dancers and Vietnamese circus artists.
