Can Tho-Lam Dong air route to be launched on April 26
The information was released at a working session between the Vietnam Air Services Company (Vasco) and representatives of the two localities in Can Tho on April 1.
The air route will be operated by Vasco and the Vietravel tourist company. Under the contract, Vietravel will charter two flights using 65-seat ATR plane per week. Forty out of the 65 seats will be reserved for Vietravel’s customers, while the remaining will be sold to the public.
According to Vice Chairman of Lam Dong People’s Committee Nguyen Van Yen, in 2014, the province welcomed around 4.8 million tourists, of which approximately 1 million are from the Mekong Delta region. However, only about 400,000 visitors arrived via airway at Lien Khuong airport in Lam Dong’s Da Lat City.
The opening of the Lien Khuong-Can Tho air route will help boost tourism connectivity between the two localities as well as others in the two regions, he said.
