AirAsia to launch direct flight to its fifth Vietnam destination
AirAsia continues to strengthen its Asean connectivity with the launch of direct services between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and Phu Quoc, Vietnam. The four weekly flights will commence on 2 November 2018. Phu Quoc is the largest island in Vietnam that is home to a diverse landscape featuring lush forests, crystal clear beaches and towering mountains.
Spencer Lee, Head of Commercial AirAsia Malaysia said, “We are delighted to be the first airline to launch direct services from Kuala Lumpur to one of Asean’s best-kept secrets, Phu Quoc. As a truly Asean airline, we’re committed to enable more people to visit more places in this region. Our guests can connect seamlessly to Phu Quoc via Kuala Lumpur from 20 cities in 10 countries, including China, India, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia. Travellers from any country can also visit Phu Quoc visa-free for up to 30 days, making this paradise more accessible. “We hope to contribute to the social and economic development of Phu Quoc through the power of connectivity. We look forward to working with the local government to develop Phu Quoc into a world class tourist destination.”
Phu Quoc marks AirAsia Malaysia’s 59th unique route and the fifth route into Vietnam. Besides Phu Quoc, AirAsia also flies to four other destinations in Vietnam including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi and Nha Trang from Malaysia.
Phu Quoc offers a slice of paradise for sun worshippers with 150 km long, beautiful coastline. Travellers can explore the three main regions in the district which are Phu Quoc island, Hon Thom and An Thoi Archipelago. Phu Quoc is part of the Kien Giang Province which was recognised by UNESCO as a World Biosphere Reserve in 2006.
There are plenty of beautiful beaches in Phu Quoc. The popular ones include Long Beach, Ong Lang Beach, Ganh Dau Beach, and Starfish Beach, offering stunning views of the sunset and crystal clear waters to cool off in. Among the must-do activities include island exploration; visiting the Ham Ninh Village for a glimpse of a local fishing village; Suoi Tranh Waterfall surrounded in greeneries, caves and rock pools; savouring fresh seafood and local Vietnamese bites at the Dinh Cau Night Market; and more.
