HA NOI (Biz Hub) — National carrier Vietnam Airlines (VNA) announced price ceilings for domestic flights on January 12, applicable on tickets purchased from January 1.

Accordingly, the general class price ceiling for flights to mountainous areas, border and island regions, including the Ha Noi–Na San, HCM City–Can Tho and Da Nang-Dong Hoi routes, is VND1.6 million (USD75) per one-way flight.

For other flights covering less than 500km, the one-way price ceiling is VND1.7 million ($79) each.

The price ceiling is exclusive of taxes and additional charges.

The decision was made following a directive of the transport minister, dated December 25, 2014, on reducing airfares for short-distance domestic flights to help socio-economic development in mountainous areas, border and island regions.

In addition, beginning January 15, VNA will offer discounts to permanent residents or soldiers and officers who are working in Con Dao, Ca Mau and Pleiku, with a 15 per cent discount for the HCM City–Ca Mau and Da Nang–Pleiku flights, and a 30 per cent discount for the HCM City–Con Dao flights. — VNS
