The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines on Mar. 28 launched a new air route from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong delta city of Can Tho and the southern resort island of Phu Quoc and vice versa.
The first flight of the route was carried out on ATR-72 plane.
The HCM City-Can Tho-Phu Quoc flights will serve passengers every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
Vietnam Airlines offers passengers to the newly-open route with a discount price of 304,000 VND (18 USD) for each section (from HCM City to Can Tho, Can Tho to Phu Quoc and vice versa) till May 30.
This was Vietnam Airlines’ 31 st domestic air route and the third one to the Mekong delta region.
In recent years, demands for travelling from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho increased sharply. The airlines expects that along with the Hanoi-Can Tho route, the new air route would help bring passengers to Can Tho and other Mekong delta provinces, even to Phu Quoc, the country’s largest resort island, off shore Kien Giang province.
In the first quarter of this year, Vietnam Airlines opened five new domestic and international air routes and is actively making preparations to join the global airline alliance Skyteam in June./.
