Hanoi (VNA) – National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has announced that it will officially launch a direct route between Hanoi and Phnom Penh on October 27, with a schedule of four flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
The route will offer a new option for passengers in addition to the current four between Vietnam and Cambodia, including Ho Chi Minh City - Phnom Penh; Hanoi, and HCM City - Siem Reap, and one trans-Indochina route.
