The first flight of the budget carrier Jetstar Pacific linking capital Ha Noi with the resort city of Da Lat in the Central Highlands province of Lam Dong landed in Lien Khuong airport at 9:05 am, carrying nearly 180 passengers.
As planned, the carrier will operate one round-trip flight daily with each taking one hour and 50 minutes.
According to the carrier, over 10,000 passengers have booked the new flight services so far.
The same flight route is currently being operated by the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and the low-cost Vietjet Air.
This summer, domestic carriers have increased the daily frequency of Ha Noi-Da Lat flight to six in order to meet travel demand, including three by Vietjet Air, two by Vietnam Airlines and one by Jetstar Pacific.
