Hanoi (VNA)♕ – The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has sent a document to the Vietnam Airlines Corporation and carriers including VietJet, Bamboo Airways, Pacific Airlines, and Vietravel Airlines, calling on them to consider increasing the number of night-time flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to the central province of Binh Dinh, and vice verse.
