Indochina Airlines links deal with Vietnam Airlines

Private carrier Indochina Airlines has concluded a cooperation agreement with Vietnam Airlines aiming to offer better service to customers for mutual benefit.

Vietnam Airlines will assist Indochina Airlines with training staff, providing pilots and leasing aircraft.

The cooperation will also cover passenger transportation in case of delays or cancellation of flights by either airline.

The private carrier plans to launch new routes between HCM City and Hue , and Hanoi and Nha Trang, before the end of this year. Its current flights serve the Hanoi-HCM City and HCM City-Danang routes.

It has several promotional programmes on offer for individual and corporate customers including discounts and a lucky draw with a Toyota car as the prize.

With the first flight taking off last November 25, Indochina Airlines has so far safely flown 1,570 flights carrying over 173,000 passengers and 4,000 tonnes of cargo at an average occupancy of 80 percent.
