Budget carrier Vietjet announced its new route linking the central province of Khanh Hoa’s Nha Trang beach city to South Korea’s Daegu city on July 1, according to a report  from the Government News.

The announcing ceremony was held in Seoul, with the attendance of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh who is paying an official visit to South Korea.

The route is scheduled to commence on October 27, with seven round-trip flights each week.
