VIETNAM Airlines will commence a weekly service from Nha Trang to Moscow using Boeing 777-200ER aircraft from April 5, marking the country’s third air link to the Russian capital city.
During the winter season, flight frequency on the Nha Trang-Moscow segment will be ramped up to twice-weekly from October 17.
A Vietnam Airlines representative in Russia was quoted by a Voice of Vietnam report as saying that the new route aimed to maintain large numbers of Russian visitors to Vietnam amid a global economic slowdown.
The Vietnamese flag carrier is currently offering a 10 per cent discount for return tickets on this new route until June 30.
