Vietnam airports: Can Tho joins international trend with AirAsia
In 2Q2019 Can Tho will become the eighth airport in Vietnam with scheduled international services when AirAsia launches flights from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. Other new international services from other airlines will likely follow, including to China, boosting tourism in Can Tho and the Mekong River region of southern Vietnam.
Can Tho is the latest in a growing list of secondary Vietnamese airports to become international. Vietnam currently has seven airports with scheduled international services but six years ago, in early 2013, the country had only three: the main cities of Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi and Da Nang.
