Phnom Penh (VNA) – National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines launched a direct route between Hanoi and Phnom Penh, Cambodia, on October 27, with a schedule of four flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The route will offer a new option for passengers in addition to the current four between Vietnam and Cambodia, including Ho Chi Minh City - Phnom Penh; Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City - Siem Reap, and one trans-Indochina route. The total number of flights between the two countries will also increase to 86 flights per week.

Currently, the airline is the only Vietnamese operating a direct route between Hanoi and Phnom Penh. With this route, passengers will have their travel time reduced to just about two hours.

Speaking at the launch, Vietnamese Ambassador to Cambodia Nguyen Huy Tang said that the new route is an important milestone in the friendship and neighbourly cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia, and bringing the people of the two countries closer together.

He said it is a clear demonstration of the special friendship and comprehensive cooperation between the two countries.

Minister in Charge of the State Secretariat of Civil Aviation (SSCA) of Cambodia Mao Havannall said that the opening of the route will contribute to facilitating air travel between the two countries by providing better options for air passengers.

It will be a symbol of the great success of the close relationship and cooperation in all fields between Vietnam and Cambodia, he said./.
