Kazakhstan’s national airline Air Astana has officially announced it will open a direct air route to Ho Chi Minh City on January 2, 2013.
The new service, scheduled to conduct two weekly flights on Wednesdays and Fridays, is expected to promote bilateral trade cooperation and enable more Vietnamese tourists to visit the Central Asia country.
The new route is especially significant considering Vietnam’s accelerated non-tariff negotiations with the Customs Union of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan.
Air Astana has selected Vietway Aviation Company as its official agent in Vietnam, in charge of ticket sales, promotion, and market development.
The airlines is offering a 30 percent discount to passengers who book tickets before January 1, 2013.
