Can Tho to launch new international, domesticair routes

VGP - Authorities in Can Tho will open more direct domestic and international routes, targeting promising markets in Southeast and Northeast Asia.

July 14, 2017 10:00 AM GMT+7
Accordingly, routes connecting Can Tho and the northern port city of Hai Phong, Vinh city in centralNghe An province, Cam Ranh city in central Khanh Hoa city, Hue city in central Thua Thien-Hue province and Da Lat city in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong will be launched in the coming time. 

At the same time, Can Tho will consider opening routes to the Republic of Korea, Japan and Singapore, aiming to attract more investments from these countries in the city and the Mekong Delta as well. 

Air routes from Can Tho to Taiwan and other foreign destinations are also expected to be opened in the future. 

In the long term by 2020, the Mekong Delta city also plans to open direct international flights to Thailand, Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), and Japan, on top of domestic routes to Vinh and Da Lat, the city’s chairman Vo Thanh Thong said on Thursday.

The air routes are meant to increase the operational capacity of Can Tho International Airport, which was inaugurated in 2011 but didn’t receive its first international flight until 2015, Thong added.

 Many Mekong Delta air travelers still prefer heading to Ho Chi Minh City to board flights out of Tan Son Nhat International Airport, despite living closer to Can Tho./.-VNA
