Next year, flying from the U.S. to Vietnam will be easier than ever, thanks to two Vietnamese air carriers launching new nonstop flights from the West Coast. Vietnam Airlines and Bamboo Airways, both based in Hanoi, have plans to operate routes into San Francisco in 2022. In fact, Vietnam Airlines’ first U.S. route is already officially under way. In November, the carrier launched its inaugural flight from Ho Chi Minh City into San Francisco International Airport. The flight, already notable for being a rare nonstop route, was historic in other ways, too: It was the first-ever regularly scheduled flight operated between the U.S. and Vietnam. The launch of the route marks “a new milestone for Vietnam Airlines and Vietnam’s aviation,” the airline’s CEO Le Hong Ha said in a statement on Monday. Source: MSN Travel |
It's a first for Deer Lake Airport, and one of the first in Newfoundland and Labrador. An "ultra-low cost" airline service will have a twice-weekly, regular route from the community on Newfoundland's west coast to Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, late next spring. The deal with Flair Airlines was announced at the unveiling of the airport's new brand Friday December 3, 2021. Source: CBC News |
