On December 4, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Vietnam Airlines Corporation signed a comprehensive cooperation program agreement for the period 2023 - 2027.
In recent times, Ho Chi Minh City has had impressive growth in the number of domestic and international visitors coming to visit and stay, positioning its brand on the world tourism map as a friendly, attractive and safe international destination.
Mr. Dang Ngoc Hoa, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vietnam Airlines, shared that for Vietnam Airlines, Ho Chi Minh City is not only a key commercial market but also a particularly important aviation transit center, playing a role in connecting airports across the country. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City is also a gateway, a transit center between countries in Europe, America, Australia, Asia... to Southeast Asia. In the near future, the National Airline will officially launch the Ho Chi Minh City - Perth (Australia) route on December 7. Currently, Vietnam Airlines is operating flights between Ho Chi Minh City and 19 domestic airports and 26 international airports, accounting for about 60% of the airline's total flights.
In the period of 2023-2027, Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Vietnam Airlines will cooperate comprehensively in all fields, including cooperation in promoting investment, trade, tourism, and aviation; coordinating research and forming tourism products and routes; coordinating the organization of educational , cultural, sports and tourism events; cooperating in organizing, participating in, and supporting programs of Ho Chi Minh City delegations.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai said that the cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam Airlines is identified as one of the important tasks and solutions to implement the city's socio-economic development plan. Therefore, the cooperation between Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Vietnam Airlines in the period of 2023 - 2027 is expected to raise the level of comprehensive cooperation. Through this comprehensive cooperation program, the relationship between the two sides will be increasingly close and Vietnam Airlines will always put Ho Chi Minh City as the top focus in the strategy of developing international and domestic routes, contributing to enhancing the position of the City in the region and the world.
Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Phan Van Mai proposed that in order to sign the agreement successfully, Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam Airlines should agree to transfer it to a working group for better implementation. The flight route will bring businesses from other countries to Ho Chi Minh City to develop investment and tourism. Along with that, Ho Chi Minh City will have activities to support Vietnam Airlines' value-added services. Perhaps, Ho Chi Minh City and Vietnam Airlines will invite more experts to "design" the overall picture, enter into in-depth cooperation, and contribute to the business and growth of Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietnam Airlines Chairman Dang Ngoc Hoa said that Vietnam Airlines aims to promote the image and develop the city's tourism more strongly, becoming a key industry that the city has set. In addition, Vietnam Airlines continues to promote Ho Chi Minh City to actively contribute to the city's socio-economic development, creating a driving force for many other industries and fields.
