Increase direct connection Russia - Khanh Hoa
In 2026, the business expects to bring about 316,000 visitors to Khanh Hoa, nearly 3 times higher than in 2025 and aiming for nearly 380,000 visitors in 2027.
The Russian tourist market to Vietnam is recording positive signs as direct routes are gradually being restored, while the operating frequency continues to expand.
In this trend, Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa continues to be one of the destinations of interest to Russian tourists and Russian-speaking countries.
According to Anex Vietnam's exploitation plan, in 2025, the enterprise brought more than 113,000 passengers to Khanh Hoa through Cam Ranh International Airport. In 2026, this number is expected to increase to about 316,000 passengers, equivalent to nearly 3 times compared to the previous year.
In 2027, Anex Vietnam aims to bring nearly 380,000 visitors to Khanh Hoa, equivalent to an average of about 30,000 - 33,000 visitors per month.
To meet the increasing demand from the Russian market and Russian-speaking countries, Anex Vietnam continues to expand its route network to Cam Ranh in the Winter of 2026 - 2027.
From September 23, 2026, the enterprise plans to deploy the Moscow - Cam Ranh direct flight program with a frequency of 3 flights/week.
Along with existing routes, Anex's network to Cam Ranh in the winter is expected to reach about 28 flights/week, equivalent to an average of 4 flights/day.
Notably, from January 2027, the Moscow - Cam Ranh route is expected to be increased from 3 to 5 flights/week, thereby continuing to increase direct connectivity between one of Russia's major source markets and Khanh Hoa.
The expansion of the flight network is expected to contribute to maintaining a stable source of international visitors for the local tourism service system, from accommodation, transportation, restaurants to sightseeing, entertainment and recreational activities.
Expanding the destination network in Vietnam
Besides Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa, Anex Vietnam continues to expand its operations in Phu Quoc and Da Nang, thereby diversifying choices for the Russian market and Russian-speaking countries.
In Phu Quoc, from October 2026, Anex is expected to start a cooperation program with Sun Phu Quoc Airways on the Moscow - Phu Quoc direct route, with a frequency of 6 flights/week.
During the peak period, Anex's flight network in Phu Quoc is expected to reach about 80 flights/month, connecting 14 cities.
In Da Nang, the number of passengers in the 2026 operating season is expected to reach about 34,000. The flight network to Da Nang has been expanded from about 30 to 55 flights/month, and the number of connected cities has increased from 8 to 12.
The simultaneous development of Nha Trang - Khanh Hoa, Phu Quoc and Da Nang shows that the network serving the Russian market and Russian-speaking countries in Vietnam is being expanded towards multi- destinations, creating more choices for tourists and contributing to distributing international tourists to many tourist centers.
In this network, Khanh Hoa continues to play an important role thanks to its advantages in sea tourism, accommodation system and capacity to serve international resort tourists.
Khanh Hoa is also one of the destinations with a long history of welcoming Russian tourists in Vietnam. The continued expansion of direct routes, especially connecting with Moscow, is expected to create more momentum for the market in the Winter of 2026 - 2027 and the following years.
According to Anex Vietnam, the company's orientation in the coming time is not only to focus on increasing the number of flights but also to expand the city network of connections, diversify products and improve the ability to exploit the Russian market and Russian-speaking countries in Vietnam.
