Vietnam Airlines Singapore service is scheduled to expand on Nov. 17, 2026, when Vietnam’s flag carrier plans to start daily nonstop flights between Da Nang and the city-state. The route would take Vietnam Airlines to 42 weekly round trips across its three Vietnam–Singapore city pairs.
The plan was announced in an Oct. 22 airline communication also published by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam. It specifies Airbus A321 aircraft, with the Da Nang departure scheduled for 3 p.m. local time and the return from Singapore at 7:45 p.m.
These are planned flights, not an inaugurated service as of Oct. 23. The announcement expands access to central Vietnam alongside existing operations from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, while passengers must still confirm final dates and schedules when booking.

Vietnam Airlines Singapore Route Adds Daily Flights
The Vietnamese aviation authority reports seven additional weekly round trips once Da Nang operations begin. Vietnam Airlines already schedules 14 weekly round trips between Hanoi and Singapore and 21 between Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore, making the new total 42.
For Vietnam Airlines Singapore flights, the aircraft type is identified as the Airbus A321, a narrowbody family widely used for regional routes. The announcement does not disclose a specific registration or cabin seat count for the inaugural service, so figures for a particular aircraft should not be inferred from the family name.
Travelers from Singapore would gain a nonstop connection to central Vietnam rather than relying entirely on a flight through Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. The arrangement also gives travelers starting in Da Nang a direct option for Singapore within the airline’s own network.
Departure Times, Fares and Introductory Terms
Vietnam Airlines lists a 3 p.m. departure from Da Nang and a 7:45 p.m. departure from Singapore, both expressed in local time. Airport, schedule and operating-day details can change, particularly before the first planned service, so the timetable should be verified close to departure.
For Vietnam Airlines Singapore services, the carrier advertised introductory round-trip economy fares from 5,266,000 Vietnamese dong including taxes and fees, excluding some peak travel periods. Its statement specified a sale ending Dec. 31 and qualifying departures through May 31, 2027, under the applicable conditions.
Some early economy fares include a temporary checked-baggage promotion. The authority described one extra 23-kilogram bag for certain standard and flexible economy tickets, subject to issue and travel windows. Passengers should use the published fare rules instead of assuming every ticket receives the promotion.
Tourism Context and the Wider Network
The airline cited a 29.8% year-over-year rise in visitors arriving in Vietnam from Singapore during the first nine months of 2026. That is an airline-cited market figure, not a forecast that the new route will experience the same rate of passenger growth.
Da Nang serves the central Vietnamese coast and regional visitor destinations. A nonstop connection can reduce transfer time and simplify itineraries, but the expected economic benefit depends on demand, schedules and actual airline performance after operations begin.
TAD previously reported on Vietnam Airlines’ cooperation talks with SAS. The Singapore announcement is separate: it names a new city-pair and service start date rather than a partnership memorandum or a long-haul connection.
