VGP - Low-cost airline AirAsia on July 1 launched two new international air routes to Malaysia’s Penang, from Viet Nam’s Ha Noi and Thailand’s island of Phuket.

Accordingly, it will operate four flights per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The Penang-Ha Noi flight departs at 6:15am, while the return leg will take off at 8:50am on the same days.

AirAsia Head of Commercial Spencer Lee said this is the airline’s seventh route to Penang, noting that the company desires to continue promoting tourism activities between Viet Nam and Malaysia, with a focus on connecting Hanoians to international destinations within the airline’s network.
