landed at Cam Ranh International Airport carrying 201 passengers. Immediately after
landing, the flight was welcomed with activities such as: a water cannon ceremony;
presenting flowers and gifts for passengers; traditional art performances; and
commemorative photos with passengers. In the opposite direction, the flight
departing from Cam Ranh and landing in Phu Quoc at 6 PM officially established
a direct route connecting two major tourist centers of Vietnam. The airline
operates this route with a frequency of 4 flights per week (on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays).

tourists have more options after the direct flight route between the two
Vietnamese beach tourism paradises is established.
For many years, despite
being prominent beach tourist destinations, Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) and Phu Quoc
(An Giang) have lacked direct flights, resulting in extended travel times. The
introduction of this direct flight is expected to strengthen connectivity
between the South Central and Southwest coastal regions, facilitating two-way
travel and expanding access for international tourists to both destinations.
Simultaneously, direct air connections will enable tourism businesses to
develop multi-destination products and itineraries. The flight time between Cam
Ranh and Phu Quoc is estimated at only 1 hour and 20 minutes, allowing tourists
to combine multiple destinations in a single trip.
