KUALA LUMPUR — AirAsia has unveiled its fifth route into Việt Nam, as the low-cost carrier launched its direct flight from Kuala Lumpur to Phú Quốc Island in the southern province of Kiên Giang.
The four weekly flights will commence on November 2. Phú Quốc marks AirAsia’s 59th unique route, apart from its existing destinations in Việt Nam namely, HCM City, Đà Nẵng, Hà Nội and Nha Trang from Malaysia.
Speaking after the launching ceremony on Monday, AirAsia head of commercial Spencer Lee said the launch reflects AirAsia’s continued efforts to strengthen the airline’s connectivity within the Asean region.

“We are delighted to be the first airline to launch direct services from Kuala Lumpur to one of Asean’s best-kept secrets, Phú Quốc. As a truly Asean airline, we are committed to enable more people to visit more places in this region.
“Our guests can connect seamlessly to Phú Quốc via Kuala Lumpur from 20 cities in 10 countries, including China, India, Australia, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.
