Bangkok – Thai Vietjet today officially received the
recertified AOC (Air Operator Certificate) from the Civil Aviation Authority of
Thailand (CAAT). The new certificate, bestowed to the airline by Transport
Minister, Arkhom Termpittayapaisit, is in line with ICAO (International Civil
Aviation Organization) standards.
Presented during a special ceremony with the theme “Let’s
Enjoy A New Journey”, the airline also announced the launch of a new
international route from Bangkok to Dalat – known as the ‘City of Flowers’ and
a much loved mountain retreat for local and international travelers,
particularly from Thailand.
“We believe that the recertification will further
reassure the confidence of travelers across the globe in our services and the
Thai airline industry as well,” said Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh, Thai Vietjet’s
management representative. “To further deliver our promise to contribute to the
growth of Thai tourism, today I am also pleased to announce the opening of Thai
Vietjet’s new international route from Bangkok to Dalat in the Central
Highlands of Vietnam. The new flight will be launched just before the
International Flower Festival of Dalat, which is held in December this year. I
am delighted that people from these two countries can now enjoy their
neighboring country even more through our expanding flight network.”
The Transport Minister of Thailand, Arkhom
Termpittayapaisit, said: “Thai Vietjet is the 12th carrier to pass the
recertification process since CAAT started to recertify the AOC for airlines. I
have witnessed the airline’s dedication on preparing and improving itself to
successfully pass the overall operational standards of ICAO. And the new AOC,
bestowed to Thai Vietjet today, is a remarkable milestone for the carrier to
further prove its safety and services as it spreads its wings and continues to
fly further and higher on this journey of sustainable development.”
Commencing on 18 December, 2017, the new Bangkok-Dalat
route will be operated by an Airbus A320 with four return flights per week,
flying every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The flight departs at
10:45am from Bangkok and returns at 12:45pm from Dalat with a flight time of
one hour 45 minutes. One-way fares start from only THB 99 (HKD $23.33)
(excluding tax and charges). Tickets are now available for booking at
www.vietjetair.com.
Dalat is the capital city of Lam Dong province, located
in the Lang Biang highlands – part of the Central Highlands region of Vietnam –
1,500 meters above sea level. Boasting thick pine forests and verdant valleys
of postcard beauty as well charming old French villas, beautiful waterfalls and
gorgeous lakes, the city of Dalat has become one of the most favorite
destinations in the country and the region, particularly when it comes to
winter where flowers blossom in full colors all over the city. The city is known
to Vietnamese by many lovely names such as Little Paris, the City of Love, the
City of Poetry, the Green City…
Following the new route launch to Dalat next month, Thai
Vietjet and Vietjet Group will operate a total of six direct routes between
Thailand and Vietnam, including Bangkok to Hanoi/ Hai Phong/ Ho Chi Minh City
and Dalat and Phuket/Chiang Mai to Ho Chi Minh City.
