To enrich experience for foreign tourists, Christmas decorations are available at the T2 terminal from now until Jan. 3, 2025.
In April, Da Nang ranked 94th in a list of world's 100 best airports as part of the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2024, which are based on passenger satisfaction surveys covering a range of categories, including check-in, arrivals, transfers, shopping, security, immigration, and departure.

In the first 10 months of 2024, the airport welcomed over 13.4 million passengers, including 6.2 million international and 7.2 million domestic travelers.
