Vietravel Airlines opens more domestic and international routes

On June 15, Vietravel Airlines opened a new route connecting Hanoi – Buon Ma Thuot and restarted the Hanoi – Cam Ranh route. The company’s representative said that this is a strategic step in the domestic network expansion plan in the third quarter, to serve a variety of passengers’ travel, family and business needs.

Flight number VU1213 from Hanoi to Buon Ma Thuot carrying 220 passengers landed safely at 2:20 p.m. on June 15. This is the airline’s first flight connecting the Capital with the capital of the Central Highlands. To welcome guests to the land of thousands, the company gives each person a brocade scarf imbued with local culture. On the same day, 200 passengers on flight VU1271 from Hanoi to Cam Ranh also enjoyed cooling gifts prepared by the flight attendants. The company views each flight as not only a travel journey, but also a space to experience unique local culture.

Vietravel Airlines representative said that the Hanoi – Buon Ma Thuot route will maintain the frequency of one flight per day, while the Hanoi – Cam Ranh route will fly twice per day. To meet the summer peak, the airline proactively increased the frequency of the Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh City route to 5 flights per day. Flight routes connecting to Da Nang from both ends of the country also increased efficiency to two flights per day to ensure flexible time frames for people.

In the international market, Vietravel Airlines is affirming its rapid growth rate. In June, the airline opened ticket sales for the Ho Chi Minh City – Shenzhen (China) route and plans to operate commercially from August 15. At the same time, the unit deployed a series of charter flights connecting Hanoi with Lanzhou (Gansu, China) from June 20.

In addition to flight network coverage, Vietravel Airlines prioritizes improving operating capacity through the fleet expansion plan. It is expected that by the end of June, the airline will continue to welcome new aircraft under its ownership. In the second half of the year, the business plans to add 7 more Airbus A321 aircraft to optimize flight schedules and increase proactiveness.

Regarding long-term strategy, Vietravel Airlines aims to reach the milestone of 50 aircraft by 2030, including both narrow-body and wide-body lines. The unit also wants the authorities to guide procedures for adjusting project scale and increasing investment capital to meet development needs. The strong participation of new investors helps the airline consolidate financial resources, expand scale and improve competitiveness in the aviation market.

“The synchronous combination of increasing the fleet size and expanding the flight network promises to bring passengers an exciting summer. We expect to continue to be a reliable companion, providing quality flight itineraries at optimal costs for domestic and foreign tourists,” said a representative of Vietravel Airlines.
