Vietnam Airlines plans to use Fokker 70
aircraft to fly between Vietnam and China. There will be three flights
per week on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
According to flight
schedule, the plane takes off from Hanoi at 12.10am and from Chengdu at
4.15pm local time, with the flight duration being two hours.
Trinh
Hong Quang, deputy director-general of Vietnam Airlines, said that the
new route will help in promoting tourism, culture, education and
business travel between Vietnam and China.
Tourists will have a
chance of visiting Chengdu’s interesting locations, home to
UNESCO-recognized natural heritage sites of Nga Mi Son, Cuu Trai Cau and
Lac Son Dai Phat.
The opening of the sixth direct flight route
to China has raised the flag carrier’s total number of direct flights
between the two countries to 36 per week.
On this occasion,
Vietnam Airlines will offer new promotional programs. It will sell a
round-trip ticket for VND5,220,000 and a package tour for VND12,500,000
per ticket, excluding airport tax, for tickets booked from June 27 to
December 31.
