New airlines will be considered in Vietnam in 2022 (Cre: Internet).
In its proposal, the Ministry of Transport says the global aviation market has suffered heavy losses due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, and Vietnam is no exception. To be optimistic, the ministry forecasts the local aviation market would make up losses and fully recover by 2022.
Local airlines have resumed domestic flights and conducted only a number of authorized international flights to repatriate Vietnamese citizens stranded overseas and bring foreign experts to Vietnam.
For the time being, the ministry wants to focus on recovering the aviation market locally and globally, and helping the airlines weather the COVID-19 crisis. The establishment of new airlines will be considered when the market fully recovers in 2022 at the latest possible time.
The new air services will bring the total number of domestic air routes operated by the airline to 61 to connect localities with famous tourist destinations across the country.
Most notably, the airline will launch two new routes that connect cities such as Hai Phong – Dien Bien and Da Lat – Phu Quoc, in addition to reopening the Can Tho – Phu Quoc and Da Nang – Van Don routes (Read more).
