Pacific Airlines wants higher ticket ceiling price

VietNamNet Bridge – The first budget airline of Vietnam, Pacific Airlines, wants to push the airfare for the HCM City – Hanoi air route to VND2 million (US$125).


According to its documents recently submitted to the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam and the Ministry of Finance asking for increasing the ceiling price of air tickets for local flights, the highest airfare of Pacific Airlines would increase by one third compared to the current level. For example, it would be VND2 million for the HCM City – Hanoi flight instead of VND1.5 million at present.


Pacific Airlines' General Director Luong Hoai Nam confirmed that the airline's proposal is appropriate to the market-based business mechanism and is extremely necessary for a budget air carrier.
