We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Da Nang?",
        "answer": "Da Nang International Airport is just three kilometers from the city center, making ground transportation fast and affordable. Taxis are readily available outside the terminal, with a trip to the city center taking about ten minutes and costing roughly two to five US dollars. Ride-share services like Grab are widely used, offering similar pricing and convenience with the added benefit of cashless payment. There is no direct mass transit from the airport, but local buses stop on the main road outside the airport grounds and provide an extremely cheap option, though they are slower and less convenient with luggage. Car rentals are available but less common for city transfers, as driving in Da Nang can be challenging for visitors. Most travelers use taxis or Grab for their speed, ease, and low cost."
