Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Huu Hoai presided over the meeting. Pernament Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Quang, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Tien Dung and representatives of related agencies and units attended the meeting.

Accordingly, the Dong Hoi-Hai Phong flights is expected to begin on late May twice a week while the Dong Hoi-Chiang Mai flights will start in June.

Speaking at the meeting, Chairman of Quang Binh provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Huu Hoai highly appreciated cooperation between Jetstar Pacific Airlines and Quang Binh to open the new flights. He also pledged to create the best possible conditions for Jetstar Pacific Airlines to facilitate the two new air routes and asked travel agents and relevant agencies to join hands in promoting the flights.

He hopes that the new flights will help attract more visitors to the province.

Thai visitors now pay special attention to Vietnam tourist sites such as Hoi An, Sapa, Ninh Binh and Quang Binh and Thailand, particularly Chiang Mai is also an attractive destination for many Vietnamese travellers.

It will take two hours to travel from Chiang Mai to Quang Binh by air, instead of two days by road as in the past.

The new air routes will attract more Thai visitors to Vietnamese northern provinces. Meanwhile, flights between Dong Hoi and Haiphong will make travel from central Vietnam to Haiphong and other northern provinces easier.
