The new-age carrier provides service on the route with two return flights per week on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

With flight time of two hours and 20 minutes, it’s easy for people to travel from the capital of the Southwest region to Quang Ninh, the key economic region of the Northeast, home to the world’s natural heritage Ha Long Bay.

Nguyen Thuc Hien, Vice Chairman of the Can Tho municipal People’s Committee, said: “We will work closely with Quang Ninh province to organize a conference to promote tourism and investment between Can Tho city, the Mekong River Delta, and Quang Ninh province. We will increase links between businesses to bring more agricultural products like fruits and fisheries to Quang Ninh province and northern provinces and to export to China."
