Vietravel Airlines operates first charter flight from RoK to Vietnam

The charter flight is part of the airline’s plan to expand its flight network in 2023 to prepare for the official inauguration of its regular flights connecting Vietnam and the RoK in an effort to promote tourism and trade between the two countries, said a representative of Vietravel Airlines.

The carrier in collaboration with its partner in the RoK plans to operate 11 charter flights on the Daegu - Cam Ranh route between March 28 and May 7. For the time being, it is operating a flight every five days and will increase the frequency depending on market demand. It is expected that the airline will bring more than 2,200 Korean nationals to Vietnam during this period.

Currently, Vietravel Airlines is running five domestic routes connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with major tourist destinations such as Da Nang, Phu Quoc and Quy Nhon. For the international market, it is conducting direct flights between Hanoi and Bangkok, and between Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok, with a frequency of 14 flights/week during prime time.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, Vietravel Airlines was one of the three most punctual airlines in Vietnam last year, with the on-time performance rate reaching 93%. In addition, the airline’s average cancellation rate was at the lowest level of only 0.2% throughout 2022.
