# Vietnamese airline to fly to China amid easing regional travel

Several Vietnamese airlines will resume flights between Vietnam and mainland Chinese cities later this month, media outlet VnExpress reported on China's recent decision to allow tourists to resume trade into Vietnam.


Budget airline Vietjet Air (pictured) announced on Wednesday that it would resume air service to regions including Tianjin, Jiangjiajie and Chengdu in China during March, the news outlet said.

VnExpress said on Wednesday that Vietnam welcomed a tour group from China for the first time in three years.

For other reasons, Macau's Civil Aviation Authority recently approved the service by many local airlines. They included Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways on flights between Macau and Vietnam.

VnExpress said it plans to fly chartered flights to Nha Trang and Macau four times a week in April and three times a week from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City to Haikou in mainland China.

The report said VietJet currently operates weekly flights to Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Wuhan from major tourist destinations in Vietnam for the entire mainland Chinese market.

Vietnam Airlines, the national carrier, said it plans to resume flights to China's Nanjing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Sichuan routes in April.

Vietnam Airlines is currently said to operate 12 flights a week from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Shanghai and Guangzhou.

Vietnam has a casino industry, and all but one location is open to foreigners. In the fall, Vietnam and China agreed to promote bilateral cooperation on "cross-border gambling," among several law enforcement topics.

On other developments in terms of expanding tourism in the region after the pandemic, Vietnamese Prime Minister Phammin Chin said on Wednesday he would ask for easing entry rules for travelers from additional jurisdictions in terms of visa exemptions and allowed length of stay.

The news was reported by the Vietnamese government portal, an official media outlet.

Under the current policy, the government will unilaterally waive visa requirements for citizens of 13 countries, including Russia, Japan, South Korea, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Belarus, the official news service said. The policy will be in effect until March 14, 2025, and further extensions may be considered.

The Vietnamese government also agreed to waive bilateral visas for general passport holders in 12 countries, including Chile, Panama, Cambodia, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Brunei and Myanmar, according to state media.
