Through this cooperation, Da Nang International Airport can fully exploit its geographical location and infrastructure advantages to promote import and export activities, especially in the context of a strong global economic development and increasing demand for logistics services and international goods. At Da Nang International Airport, DNATA also directly surveyed the infrastructure and location of functional areas in the free trade zone in the Da Nang airport area, and assessed the potential for development cooperation between the two sides.

Previously, Da Nang International Airport also welcomed the leadership of Chubu Centrair International Airport (Japan) to share experiences, discuss solutions to improve service quality, and propose directions to maintain and bring Da Nang domestic terminal to 5-star standards according to SKYTRAX's recommendations. During the meeting, the leaders of Da Nang International Airport gave many ideas and key issues that need to be improved, especially in terms of customer experience, optimizing check-in procedures and improving service quality.
