The airport said Sun PhuQuoc Airways officially launched ticket sales for the route from May 5.

The launch of the direct air route is expected to provide additional travel options between northeastern Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh City as demand for travel, tourism and trade between the two areas continues to rise.
