According to Asiana Airlines, the carrier will provide two direct flights per week from South Korea to Cam Ranh.

Cam Ranh Airport was recognized as an international airport in December 2009. Although the airport had the largest growth in passenger numbers, no international flights had landed there for a long time. The airport has so far mainly received Russian tourists.
