Quang Binh: welcomes the first Airbus A320

(Quang Binh Website) - On March 26, 2011 at 11:30 AM, Quang Binh received the first Airbus A320 landing at Dong Hoi Airport. This is the most modern aircraft landing at Dong Hoi airport since it has been established.

Vietnam Airline has recently put Airbus A320 into operation for Dong Hoi - Ho Chi Minh air route and vice versa. In the first flight from Ho Chi Minh to Dong Hoi, Airbus A320 carried nearly 100 passengers. This airplane has a designed capacity to carry 150 passengers a flight.

With a capacity of two flights a day, the flights from Dong Hoi to Ho Chi Minh and vice versa will be officially operated every Monday, Tuesday, Thusday and Saturday by Airbus A320.

After two years of launching Dong Hoi - Ho Chi Minh air route, Dong Hoi airport has attracted a large number of passengers and become a "gold air route" of Vietnam Airlines. In order to expand and improve quality of services and meet the demand of passengers, Vietnam Airlines has decided to increase the number of flights and put Airbus A320 into operation.

The expansion of this airline not only makes distance shorter and creates favorable condition for Quang Binh to lure investors, but also helps visitors to Quang Binh, which has many advantages in tourism and services.
