Russian airline begins Nha Trang service

Vladivostok Air, one of the largest carriers in Russia's far east, Wednesday began operating flights from Vladivostok and Khabarovsk to Nha Trang on Vietnam’s central coast.

There will be six monthly flights in either direction between the two cities in Russia and Cam Ranh International Airport.

From Vladivostok, the service will operate on two Wednesdays and Thursdays every month and from Khabarovsk, it will operate on two Thursdays a month.

Nearly 10 four-five-star hotels and tourist sites in Nha Trang have promised to cut prices by 20 percent to 50 percent for Russian tourists arriving by these flights.

A round trip from Vladivostok to Cam Ranh will cost from 25,744 rubles (US$ 835) while the Khabarovsk-Cam Ranh fare starts at 28,774 rubles ($933).
