Laos Airlines reopens Pakse - HCM City route

Lao Airlines, in co-operation with Champasak province, launched a new flight route on October 19 from Vientiane - Pakse to HCM City.

The flights on the new route will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The new route aims to promote trade and tourism between Viet Nam and Laos.

Champasak province's chief Sonxay Siphandon said that Champasak province needs support from industries in Ho Chi Minh city, including the agriculture, health care and telecommunications sectors.

Le Thanh Hai, the Secretary of the HCM City Party Committee, said that the new route would help develop relations between the two countries. The first Pakse - HCM City flight route was discontinued in 2003.
