This is the ninth domestic route operated by Can Tho International Airport and the third domestic one linking Can Tho with northern localities.
Prior to Quang Ninh, local airlines had launched air services connecting the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho with Hanoi and Hai Phong City.
The launch of the new route is expected to facilitate the transport of goods from southern Vietnam to the north, paving the way for products of the Mekong Delta region to reach the Chinese market more quickly and effectively.
According to a representative of the Can Tho Department of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, the new route is expected to enable Can Tho to woo more international and domestic visitors to the region.
