Vietnam Airlines launched new route
The national flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines launched its new direct flight route from Hanoi to Kansai in Japan on January 13th.
According to Vietnam Airlines, the carrier plans to operate five flights a week on an Airbus A321 with two classes: 168 economy-class seats and 16 business-class berths.
The new route will be serviced by flight No VN944, taking off from Hanoi at 00:10 daily, excluding Tuesdays and Fridays. Flight No VN945 will depart from Kansai on the same days at 11 am and arrive at 14:45 at Noi Bai International airport.
The carrier decided to bring the route into operation to meet the demand of customers as Japan Airlines stopped its Kansai-Hanoi just one day before Vietnam Airlines opened new route. It is an important step to expand its market in Japan.
Director of the airline's representative office in Japan, Nguyen Quoc Tuan, said Vietnam Airlines was determined to open the route with a desire to enhance commercial, investment and tourism activities between the two countries and Hanoi-Kansai in particular, despite the difficulties of global aviation.
