Asiana Airlines will add four flights per week on the Hanoi – Incheon (South Korea) route from December 9, said Seon Jong Rok, Chief Representative of Asiana Airlines in Hanoi.
The airlines will use A321 aircraft (OZ728) with 171 seats for the additional four flights, which will fly on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Asiana now operates seven flights per week on the Hanoi - Incheon route.
The flight increase is due to the number of Vietnamese tourists to South Korea rising quickly in 2013. Through November 2013, more than 108,000 Vietnamese tourists visited the country, higher than the total tourists of 106,000 in 2012. The carrier’s flight increase will meet people's travel demand between the two countries.
Asiana Airlines plans an additional three weekly flights on the route starting in early 2014. It is considering using larger aircraft to provide more capacity, as well as to ensure service quality for passengers.
