HCMC – The central province of Thua Thien-Hue welcomed the first direct flight from South Korea’s Seoul on August 1. The Airbus A321 aircraft with 151 passengers on board landed at Phu Bai International Airport in the province as part of a two-way chartered air service operated by the local budget carrier Vietjet Air. On the same day, a delegation led by Nguyen Thanh Binh, vice chairman of Thua Thien-Hue, and other passengers headed to South Korea on the return flight.
