Vu Duc Bien, general director of Vietravel Airlines, said that its first commercial flights are scheduled to take off on January 25.
The carrier is set to operate 1-2 daily flight(s) on each route and will increase the flight frequency as well as expand its flight network, especially during the upcoming Lunar New Year or Tet.
