Polish Airlines to commence non-stop flights to Ha Noi

HA NOI — Polish Airlines (LOT) formally announced in Ha Noi yesterday that it would open a non-stop route linking Ha Noi with Warsaw on November 15. It would become the primary carrier to fly the route.

LOT will present the only non-stop commercial flight between Eastern Europe and Viet Nam ten years subsequent to an aviation agreement was signed between Poland and Viet Nam.

Vo Huy Cuong, director of the Civil Aviation Administration of Viet Nam (CAAV)'s transportation department, said CAAV had already accepted its plans and traffic rights for the non-stop commercial flights to commence in November.

Tran Trung, deputy director of the travel group TransViet, the general sale agent for LOT in Viet Nam, said the airline would begin with three flights per week from Ha Noi to Warsaw on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

With many regional destinations to desire from, such as Bangkok, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Krzysztof said LOT selected Ha Noi because of Poland's large Vietnamese population and its desire to fetch culture, families and tourists from Poland to Viet Nam and vice versa.

LOT will employ Boeing B767-300 for its Ha Noi – Warsaw flights. Round trip fares will begin at US$380 for economy class and $1,950 for business class, excluding taxes and surcharges.
