This was announced at a recent working session between Chairman of the Khanh Hoa provincial People’s Committee Vo Lam Phi, leaders of the Minh Nhat Ltd.Co. and representatives of Russia’s Vladivostock Avia and Transero Airlines. 

Under the agreement, TU204 aircraft will be used for a flight every two weeks and the flight frequency will be increased later. Another air route will also open for flights from Moscow to Cam Ranh and vice versa. 

The provincial chairman also asked hotels and guest houses to offer promotion programmes and lower service prices on the occasion of the inauguration of Cam Ranh international airport. 

Travel agents’ hotels have pledged 50-70 percent discount in hotel room prices for nearly 130 international tourists flying from Russia to Cam Ranh on December 12. 

The national aviation sector invested more than VND200 billion in building a new terminal, air traffic control station, a modern runway lights and other facilities in Cam Ranh airport. 

The capacity of the new terminal doubles the old one, which was only capable of loading 300 passengers per hour.
