At the meeting, Mr. Jin Zhang, Director of Donghai Airlines Operations Center, introduced an overview of the airline's operations, and affirmed that Hue has all the conditions and is very suitable to operate the Shenzhen - Hue route and vice versa. In addition, the airline is also considering the possibility of opening a Hong Kong - Hue route in the near future.

Mr. Le Minh Trieu, Director of Phu Bai International Airport, said that the unit has fully prepared conditions to receive and serve international flights and is ready to coordinate with Donghai Airlines in exploiting the new route. Mr. Trieu also requested the leaders of Hue City to direct relevant departments and branches to support, closely coordinate and have preferential policies to soon put into operation the Shenzhen - Hue route, expected in November or December 2025.

Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee Phan Thien Dinh agreed with the policy and affirmed that the city will create the most favorable conditions for the flight route to be put into operation soon. He asked the parties to proactively coordinate, soon complete a specific exploitation plan, and promptly report any difficulties so that the city can direct the removal.

To ensure efficiency, the city leaders suggested that both sides establish a commitment to a minimum flight schedule and stable operating frequency, possibly piloting for 3-6 months with a minimum frequency of 3 flights/week, then evaluating the results. At the same time, research flexible pricing policies, revenue sharing mechanisms, technical support and ground operations to reduce costs and improve passenger experience.

Chairman of Hue City People's Committee Phan Thien Dinh hopes that the opening of the Shenzhen - Hue flight route and vice versa will contribute to promoting the image and unique tourism products of Hue, attracting more international tourists, creating a driving force to promote the city's economic and tourism development in the coming time.
