The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will operate such flights using ATR 72 aircraft. Bamboo Airways has suspended the service since November 2023 as the only Vietnamese airline to run the route. It has also halted a series of domestic and international routes since the month.
An authority representative said the resumption is expected to promote tourism and trade between the two localities.
