Tourism boom urges AirAsia to look to flying to more destinations in Vietnam after the carrier succeeded in launching daily flight from Kuala Lumpur to HCMC, and four weekly flights from Bangkok from last month. Tassapon BijIeveld, chief executive officer of Thai AirAsia, a Bangkok-based member of the fast growing low-cost group, says the carrier is eyeing sites in central Vietnam. “We are studying Danang and Hue, but we think Danang has more potential as we see a lot of hotels going up there and more Western tourists have started to get familiar with this city,” Bijleveld tells the Daily, adding that the services to these cities will be direct.
