RoK businesses can cooperate with FLC in these projects, Quyet said.
Particularly in the aviation sector, earlier this year, Bamboo Airways operated the first international flight (in the form of charter flight) to Quy Nhon from Cheongju Airport, followed by some regular flights to the RoK from Da Nang and Nha Trang.
