VietJet to take to the skies in Sept

中国民航网 通讯员王英斌 编译报道:越南廉航(LCC)之一的VietJet航空近日表示,该公司去年与泰国廉航KAN航空合作成立的泰国VietJet航空将于今年3季度(7~9月)正式投入运营。KAN航空是泰国的一家民营航企,以泰国北部清迈国际机场为航空枢纽。

  针对泰国VietJet航空即将投入运营,VietJet航空增加了机队飞机数量。最近,该公司新引进了3架空客A320型飞机。

  泰国VietJet航空由越泰双方共同出资成立,其中泰国KAN航空出资51%,VietJet航空出资49%。运营初期投入2~3架空客A320型飞机,以泰国素旺那普国际机场为航空枢纽,除了开通运营泰国北部清迈、南部普吉等泰国国内航线以外,还计划开通运营缅甸、柬埔寨、老挝等国际航线。(编译自《亚欧经济情报》)

Thai VietJet’s business plan including network coverage and marketing strategy is being finalised, while nearly 60 staff including about 10 pilots have already been recruited, Mr Somphong said.

The airline is most likely to begin with flights from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport to Chiang Mai and Phuket, where flight slot allocations are limited due to heavy air traffic.
