More Chinese tourists will be visiting Da Nang by twice-weekly chartered flights that have started operating from Nanjing, according to city-based tour operator Vitours Co.

Cao Tri Dung, director of Vitours, said five travel agencies will serve the Chinese tourists. It is expected that the flights, each with a capacity of 120-150 passengers, will continue until the end of this year.

However, the travel agencies have not confirmed when the service will begin.

Besides the Nanjing-Da Nang route, chartered flights from China's Kunming and Chengdu cities will also be back in service in May after a short break.-VNS
