Lam Dong

A flight from Kuala Lumpur carrying 137 passengers landed at Lien Khuong airport on the morning of September 2, marking the resumption of international flights after the airport was closed for repairs.

At 10:58, AirAsia flight AK571 from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) landed at Lien Khuong airport, taking 137 passengers to Da Lat.

This is the first international flight to Lien Khuong since the airport resumed operations after a temporary closure to repair the runway and taxiway.

About 40 minutes later, flight AK572 from Da Lat to Kuala Lumpur took off, marking the restoration of the regular international flight between Da Lat and the Malaysian capital.

The resumption of the flight route makes it more convenient for Malaysian and international tourists to come to Da Lat, while increasing the connection between Lam Dong with Malaysia and Southeast Asian markets.

According to the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Lam Dong, the route was restored on the occasion of National Day September 2, contributing to diversifying the international tourist market, promoting destinations and increasing the connection of Da Lat with tourism centers in the region.

Previously, on August 19, the project to repair the runway and taxiway at Lien Khuong airport was inaugurated and put into use. Vietnam Airlines flight VN1380 from Ho Chi Minh City is the first commercial flight to land after the airport reopened.
