The Hanoi-Bangkok route has one round-trip flight per day by the A321 narrow-body fleet with departure time frame from 11:55 am.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, the Ambassador of Thailand to Vietnam, Nikorndej Balankura, said this is good news for both Vietnamese and Thai people as they now have more choices for travel at reasonable costs.

He said he hopes that the carrier will open more flights that connect major tourism cities of Vietnam and Thailand, which will help boost cultural exchanges and tourism.
