Kunming Changshui International Airport said Vietjet Air flight VJ5325 arrived at Cam Ranh International Airport at 1:20 on July 10 (Viet Nam time), officially restoring the service after a suspension. The route is operated with Airbus A321 and scheduled to remain in service until October 24, 2026.
Flights from Kunming to Nha Trang operate under flight number VJ5325, while the return leg is designated VJ5324, with three flights every two weeks on a rotating basis.
The airport said the resumption is aimed at meeting rising demand during the 2026 summer travel season. It has also increased the frequency of direct services to several Southeast Asian destinations, including Phuket and Chiang Mai in Thailand, Vientiane in Laos, and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.
As a major aviation gateway connecting China with South and Southeast Asia, Kunming Changshui International Airport has expanded its international network since early 2026 by launching passenger routes to Luang Prabang, Jakarta and Phu Quoc, while also opening cargo services to Colombo, Karachi and Istanbul. The moves form part of broader efforts to enhance air links across East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East.
The restored Kunming–Nha Trang route is expected to cater to growing travel demand and facilitate tourism, trade and cultural exchanges between Viet Nam and China. With international travel continuing to rebound, the reopening and expansion of direct air services are also expected to deepen tourism cooperation, improve connectivity between Yunnan and Viet Nam’s central coastal provinces, and further strengthen bilateral economic and cultural ties.
