Sixteen Int'l Airlines to Open Flights to Vietnam Central City
Sixteen international airlines signed deals with the central city of Hue’s authorities to open more air routes to the city at a conference held on August 23.
The conference, jointly held by local authorities and the Central Vietnam Airlines Corporation, aimed to boost Hue’s tourism promotion and attract international airlines.
The meeting was attended by 27 airlines and 20 travel agents from various countries, with the majority from Southeast and North Asia.
At the signing ceremony, the Provincial People’s Committee Chairman, Nguyen Ngoc Thien, said that the city would offer incentives for airlines, including financial support, to operate flights to and from the city.
The Central Region Airport Corporation pledged to give price subsidies to airlines using the services of the Phu Bai airport.
