Hanoi (VNA) – The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will operate more flights from the country’ major cities to Kuala Lumpur on December 11 to serve football fans who want to travel to Malaysia to cheer on the Vietnamese national team in the first leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup final.

The carrier will run an additional one or two flights for each route linking Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang with the Malaysian capital.
