Traveling to and around Vietnam now is much more convenient thanks to the development of transportation systems, especially airplanes. As far as we concern, Vietnam has become the world's third-fastest growing market for international passengers in 2015, and the second-fastest for domestic passengers as IATA said. Moreover, new routes are constantly being expanded, making it more convenient for passengers to travel around. Due to its large size, a wide range of geographic features, a north-to-south distance of 1,650 kilometers, all domestic flights are quite short. The longest flight which connects Hanoi and Phu Quoc Island take just about 2 hours and 5 minutes.
The 02 main and largest airports are Noi Bai International Airport (Hanoi) and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (Ho Chi Minh City), which serve the 02 biggest cities in Vietnam. From these airports, travelers can easily fly to other cities of Vietnam and surrounding countries within a few hours.
Until now, there are 04 major domestic airlines in Vietnam, including Vietnam Airlines - the flag carrier and member of Sky Team; VietJet Air - the first privately owned and an International low-cost airline; Pacific Airlines - another low-cost airline serving as a part of Vietnam Airlines; and Bamboo Airways - a newly Vietnamese leisure airline owned by the FLC Group.
