The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines (VNA) will open two new routes connecting Ho Chi Minh city with two famous islands, Bali (Indonesia) and Phuket (Thailand), from October 27th.
New air routes between HCMC and Bali, Phuket to be launched
Accordingly, VNA will operate the HCMC-Bali route with 7 flights a week. However, during the first period from October 27th, 2019 to March 2020, the airlines will operate 5 flights a week due to operational restrictions at Denpasar airport (Bali).
Flights from Ho Chi Minh city depart from HCMC at 11h10 and from Bali at 16h50 every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Sunday. This is the second air route of VNA linking Vietnam with Indonesia, after the first flying between Ho Chi Minh and Jakarta, operated from December 2012 with 7 flights a week.
The HCM city-Phuket air route, the third one between Vietnam and Thailand, will be put into use with 3 flights a week. Passengers can depart from Ho Chi Minh city at 15h50 and from Phuket at 18h40 every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
With great development potential, the air route will have frequency increase to 7 flights a week from March 2020.
Together with the two new routes, VNA will resume air services between Da Nang and Bangkok from October 27th, departing everyday from Da Nang at 15h20 and from Bangkok at 18h00./.
