BL Adds HAN-HKG

[yohy?!]

Jetstar adds Hanoi-Hong Kong flight : TTR Weekly

The low-cost carrier will use its 180-seat A320 aircraft to offer four weekly flights between Hanoi and Hong Kong on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays. Flight time is around two hours.

This will take the number of destinations serving HK direct from across the francises to 4 (NRT, KIX, SIN, HAN)

Now all they need is a local partner to link up with for onward connections to China... have they considered setting up a Jetstar Hong Kong?

Certainly a big recent expansion phase for BL after years of not doing much.

Was surprised to find a BL retail shop front as well in HAN near the main train station

Also appears from the above that Jetstar Pacific has solved their 'branding issue' which had resulted in many planes flying with a plain silver tail.

Livery above, which also appears on internet photos of the new Airbus 321s that have come from 70% owner Vietnam Airlines,
show a large black title JetstarPacific on the side of the plane (no star as per the latest Jetstar livery)
and on the tail the word Jet is in a medium grey, rather than black of the other Jetstars.

Anyhow good to see Pacific expanding. Despite starting as the first Vietnamese LCC they stopped growing enabling VietJetAir to expand more rapidly (currently 23 planes to Jetstar's 10)

And now making a profit and looking at substantial expansion - Vietnam Airlines and Qantas working together
