National, July 30 (IBNS): Strengthening its presence in South-east Asia, IndiGo, India’s leading airline, announced its entry into Vietnam. Hanoi will be IndiGo’s 19th International and 75th overall destination.
Effective from Oct 3, 2019, IndiGo will operate its non-stop daily flights between Kolkata and Hanoi.
Vietnam is the 5th Southeast Asian country in the 6E network after successful operations to Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and its recent flights to Myanmar.
William Boulter, Chief Commercial Officer, IndiGo said, “It is truly a very special moment for all of us at IndiGo as it is the first route connecting Kolkata to Hanoi. This milestone reflects our relentless focus and commitment, while enabling the Government’s “Act East” vision, in further strengthening the network between eastern corridors of India and the Southeast Asia region. We foresee a rising demand for Hanoi, which is famous for its historic architecture and a rich cultural blend of Southeast Asian and French influence. Additionally, we are also expecting a high demand for the Buddhist circuit as Vietnam has a large Buddhist community”.
Boulter further added, “IndiGo will continue to expand its network to meet the requirements of both business and leisure travellers across domestic and international destinations. It is our constant endeavour to provide our customers with a wider choice of destinations, along with on-time, courteous and hassle-free service, and an affordable flying experience”.
