New direct flights eyed for Poland, Czech Republic & Switzerland
The proposed routes are aligned with a Government resolution which introduces visa exemptions under the 2025 tourism development stimulus program for citizens of these three European countries.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has urged domestic airlines to explore the possibility of opening direct routes to Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland.
This initiative aims to promote tourism, strengthen international connectivity, and implement the 2025 stimulus policy.
In a document sent to Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet Air, Pacific Airlines, Bamboo Airways, and Vietstar Airlines, the CAAV requested a feasibility study for launching direct flights to these destinations.
The proposed routes are aligned with Government Resolution No 11/NQ-CP, issued on January 15, 2025, which introduced visa exemptions under the 2025 tourism development stimulus program for citizens of these three European countries.
The CAAV has encouraged airlines to collaborate with the Vietnam National Authority of Tourism, engage in tourism promotion programs, and design package tours aimed at attracting tourists from Poland, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland.
These efforts are intended to boost the competitiveness of Vietnam’s tourism industry in the global market by leveraging preferential policies, simplifying entry procedures, and enhancing visitor experiences.
The leadership of the CAAV emphasized that the launch of these air routes will contribute to the fulfillment of the Government’s economic growth targets for 2025. By facilitating international travel and tourism, Vietnam aims to achieve a national GDP growth rate of 8% or higher and attract 22-23 million international tourist arrivals by year-end.
