There will be four round-trip flights a week on the Thanh Hoa - Quy Nhon route,
on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, with each trip taking an hour and 35
minutes and tickets costing from 199,000 VND (8.5 USD), excluding taxes and
fees.
The Thanh Hoa - Phu Quoc route will see three round-trip flights a week, on
Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Each trip takes 2 hours and 5 minutes and
tickets cost from 399,000 VND, excluding taxes and fees.
Vice General Director of Bamboo Airways Nguyen Ngoc Trong said Thanh Hoa Airport
plays an important role in the carrier’s network expansion strategy due to its
favourable location.
He hopes the routes will contribute to tapping into the province’s tourism
potential and fostering its socio-economic growth.
On the same day the hybrid local carrier also launched flights between Vinh city
in the north-central province of Nghe An and Quy Nhon, with three round-trip
flights a week.
It plans to open flights linking Hanoi and Con Dao Island, off the coast of
southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province, in mid-July.
Bamboo Airway is working on recovering all of its domestic routes following its
enforced COVID-19 hiatus. According to the latest data from the Civil Aviation
Authority of Vietnam, the airline’s throughput in June surpassed that in the
same period last year. In the first five months of 2020 it also posted the
highest on-time performance (OTP) rate in the domestic industry, at nearly 96
percent, with all flights deemed safe.
