Vietravel Airlines, an airline just established by local tour operator Vietravel, plans to launch its maiden flight in October next year.
In the first year of operations, Vietravel Airlines will use three Airbus 320/321 or B737 aircraft. The number of aircraft in its fleet is expected to increase to eight in the next five years.
On February 19, Vietravel Airlines received its business license from the Department of Planning and Investment of the central province of Thua Thien-Hue, where Vietravel Airlines will be headquartered. It also increased its charter capital from VND300 billion to VND700 billion in May.
The Thua Thien-Hue Department of Planning and Investment has consulted the Ministries of Planning and Investment and Transport on the appraisal of the Vietravel Airlines air passenger transport project.
The project, which requires an investment of VND700 billion, is aimed at providing air transport services at home and to other countries, contributing to the development of Vietnam’s aviation and tourism sectors.
