AirAsia starts new route to Vietnam

AirAsia, Malaysia’s award-winning low-cost carrier, has launched its 54th unique route, Vietnam’s coastal city of Nha Trang.
The maiden flight, with a 93% flight load, landed at around noon (Vietnam time) on Thursday at Cam Ranh International Airport, greeted with a water cannon salute.
The inaugural flight was a milestone for AirAsia, being the first to operate direct flights to Nha Trang from Malaysia.
AirAsia Bhd commercial head Spencer Lee said 2017 has been an eventful year for Asean as it celebrates its 50th anniversary.
Also present were AirAsia director Datuk Fam Lee Ee and Khanh Hoa Department of Tourism vice-director Nguyen Thi Le Thanh.
Nha Trang is the capital of Khanh Hoa which lies along the coastline of south central Vietnam.
Lee said the daily direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Nha Trang showed the carrier’s commitment to provide more connectivity between the two countries.
AirAsia also flies to other Vietnamese cities including Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang and Hanoi.
Lee said passengers can use Fly-Thru, an optional baggage check-through service to their final destination without the hassle of immigration clearance at the transit hub.
With Fly-Thru service, passengers from 23 cities in eight countries can travel to Nha Trang seamlessly.
“We are confident that we will keep this route strong,” said Lee.
From now until Sept 24, AirAsia is offering RM99 all-in-fare one way to Nha Trang for travel until Feb 28 next year.

Hours-long congestion haunts Ho Chi Minh City airport despite new flyover
Hours-long congestion haunts Ho Chi Minh City airport despite new flyover
Severe traffic gridlock lasting several hours on Thursday at the entrance of a major airport in Ho Chi Minh City left travelers rushing to catch their flights.
The nightmare started at around 9:30 am on streets surrounding Tan Son Nhat International Airport before spreading to nearby areas, despite a recently constructed flyover designed to alleviate congestion at the airport.
On Truong Son Street, vehicles entering and exiting the airdrome were trapped in bumper-to-bumper traffic, while congestion on Hong Ha Street forced motorcyclists to use sidewalks as traffic lanes.
Similar situations were recorded on Bach Dang Street and near Gia Dinh Park, where thousands of cars and motorbikes traveling at a snail’s pace forced airport commuters to leave their cabs and walk to the airport to catch their flights.
Nguyen Van Thanh, a 31-year-old resident from Thu Duc District, was leaving the domestic terminal after picking up relatives when he became stuck in the bottleneck after leaving the airport.
“Vehicles are not allowed to travel under the new flyover which contributes to the congestion,” Thanh assessed.
Traffic police officers were dispatched to control the nearly three-hour traffic jam.
Statistics from the municipal Department of Transport show that some 30,000 vehicles come and go from Tan Son Nhat on a daily basis.
Regular congestion at the facility can be attributed to it only being accessible from Truong Son Street.
According to Bui Xuan Cuong, director of the transport department, the agency has proposed that additional airport entrances be added to Thong Nhat Street in Go Vap District or certain streets in Tan Binh District to ease the gridlock.
