Sun PhuQuoc Airways has launched a new flight route between Hanoi and Hong Kong. The service currently operates one flight per day following the success of the airline's existing route to Phu Quoc.
Why it matters
The route expansion follows high demand on the Hong Kong-Phu Quoc service and a broader increase in travel between Vietnam and Hong Kong. This addition aims to capture rising tourist interest in the region.
The new Hanoi-Hong Kong service operates with a daily flight frequency. This launch follows the earlier introduction of a Hong Kong-Phu Quoc route that maintained a load factor exceeding 90%.
