China Southern Airlines opens Guangzhou-Phu Quoc air route

On July 6, China Southern Airlines (CZ) launched a direct air route from Guangzhou, China to the southern Phu Quoc resort island in Kien Giang province.

The airline is expected to operate three flights per week on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday and serve 1,000 visitors. Travelers to Phu Quoc island can enjoy a visa exemption for their stay of less than 30 days.

CZ has so far operated flights to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Cam Ranh and Danang.

The opening of GuangZhou-Phu Quoc air route, the fifth to Vietnam by the China Southern Airlines will help raise the number of foreign arrivals to Phu Quoc to 20,000 this year.
