Vietnam and India Emerge as Aviation Powerhouses
The Business Times (Singapore) published a feature on the evolving aviation landscape, positioning Vietnam and India as the new powerhouse markets.
Vietravel Airlines Connects Vietnam to China
Vietnam’s aviation sector continues to punch above its weight. Vietravel Airlines launched direct flights between Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and Shenzhen (SZX) on August 17. This adds to a packed week for Vietnamese aviation and suggests a strong recovery in intra-Asia business travel and trade traffic between the manufacturing hubs of Vietnam and South China.
Vietjet Launches Vietnam-Sri Lanka Direct Link
Vietjet celebrated the launch of its direct three-times-weekly service between Ho Chi Minh City and Colombo, Sri Lanka. This service, which began on August 18, is a significant development for South-Southeast Asian connectivity, facilitating trade flows and opening up a new source market for both countries. It positions Sri Lanka as an accessible destination for Vietnamese tourists and vice versa.
The development is particularly relevant to the Sri Lanka travel market, where stronger air connectivity continues to create opportunities for Indian and regional travel agents, tour operators and destination partners.
TheTravigator has also examined why Indian travel agents are betting big on Sri Lanka, particularly as connectivity, MICE demand and destination diversification strengthen the market.
