Quang Ninh to Can Tho air route to open

An air route connecting Quang Ninh Province, home to Ha Long Bay, with the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho will open April 25.

The three Vietjet Air flights per week are scheduled for Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

The Van Don (Quang Ninh) to Tra Noc flight will depart at 8:55 a.m. and land at 11:10 a.m., while the Tra Noc-Van Don flight will take off at 6 a.m. and arrive at 8:20 a.m.

The new route will aid tourism in the Red Delta and the Mekong Delta. Tour agencies have already designed tours between these destinations.

In the future, tour units will utilize more locations, from Can Tho to Phu Quoc and Cambodia, as well as create new experiences for tourists.

Before the Quang Ninh air route was established, people in northern Vietnam could travel to Can Tho from Hanoi on a daily basis, or from Hai Phong with two flights a week.
