(VOVworld) - The Ministry of Transport is preparing to open a new flight path connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The new flight path, approved by Prime Minsiter Nguyen Tan Dung late in 2015, aims to serve increasing air traffic on the country’s busiest route.


Chief of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam Lai Xuan Thanh said the new flight path would run parallel with the current route. The distance between the two flight paths would be about 30 kilometers, he said.
The route was designed to serve northbound flights from HCM City, while the current flight path would be used in the opposite direction.
