Vietravel Airlines, a subsidiary of tour operator Viettravel, will operate around 10 charter flights linking HCM City and Danang to Japan until the end of April.
Six flights will go to Takamatsu Prefecture and four to Fukushima Prefecture. Vietnam to Japan flights will have capacity for nearly 1,862 passengers, and 1,780 passengers on return flights.
On Sunday, Vietravel Airlines ran a flight from HCM City to Takamatsu with 200 passengers on board, becoming the first of the carrier’s charters until late April.
The Japan National Tourism Organisation in Vietnam reported that Japan welcomed approximately 573,900 Vietnamese tourists last year, an all-time record, marking a 15.9 percent rise against 2019.
Vietravel Airlines met with representatives of Kagawa and Fukushima prefectures in December last year about plans to expand the flight network connecting Vietnamese cities with these two Japanese localities.
Vietravel Airlines covers many popular tourist destinations in Vietnam such as Danang, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Quy Nhon, and Da Lat. It also operates flights to Bangkok in Thailand and charter flights to Daegu and Muan in South Korea, and Macau and Sanya in China, the Vietnam News Agency reported.
