National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, budget airlines Jetstar Pacific and Vietjet Air, and Da Nang’s tourism promotion centre are introducing Vietnam’s outstanding tourism products at the 33rd International Travel Expo in China’s Hong Kong (ITE-Hong Kong 2019) from June 13-16.
The central city of Da Nang will host 143,000 tourists, including 82,000 foreigners, visiting during the Christmas and New Year vacation from December 24 through January 2.
Vietjet Aviation Joint Stock Company (HOSE code: VJC) posted a pre-tax profit of more than 2.98 billion VND (131 million USD) in the first nine months of this year, according its preliminary business results which were released last week.
Orders for smaller planes will soar worldwide in the next 20 years, driven by the needs of budget airlines in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, according to aircraft manufacturer Boeing.
Airlines transported an estimated 52.2 million passengers in 2016, up 29 percent from the previous year, according to a report by the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam.
The new Filipino and Vietnamese middle class are flying in ever-greater numbers within Southeast Asia as they capitalise on low fuel prices and budget airlines.
