Air Mekong edges towards launch flights

Tuesday, 16 Sep, 2010 0

Vietnam-backed Air Mekong is ready to fly with 40 foreign pilots awaiting the arrival of planes.

The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) has granted the carrier traffic rights to operate domestic services.

Air Mekong says it will sell tickets from September 23 for its more than 30 daily domestic flights from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Danang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Dalat as well as from HCMC to Con Dao, Buon Ma Thuot, Haiphong and Vinh.

Air Mekong has chartered four three-year-old Bombardier CRJ-900s from a U.S.-based aircraft leasing firm.

Vietnam Air Petrol Co. said it has a flexible scheme for Air Mekong to pay fuel bills depending on the carrier’s capability rather than ask the carrier to make payment in advance
