Authorities of the Republic of Korea (RoK)’s Chungbuk province, about 105km south of Seoul, have said they will promote the resumption of international flights at Cheongju International Airport, including direct ones to Viet Nam.

The provincial tourism sector will facilitate the organisation of charter flights to Viet Nam’s Da Nang and Da Lat in late July and has a plan to expand air routes to Bangkok.

Local authorities also plan to provide support of up to 500 million won (US$392,000) for airlines that launch international flights to Cheongju airport. Priority airlines operating the three routes will be paid an additional 100 million won for advertising fees.

The RoK Government has allowed the increase of the number of flights from 420 per week to 520 per week from May. Since the beginning of the month, Asiana Airlines has also increased its flights to Los Angeles and Viet Nam’s Ha Noi and HCM City. — VNS
