We remain committed to attracting more airlines and expanding our route network to serve the travel needs of Central and Northern Luzon,” said Noel Manankil, President and CEO of LIPAD Corporation.
Nguyen Thanh Son, Vietjet CEO, said: “Vietjet is proud to further expand its network in the Philippines with the launch of direct flights to Clark, adding an important connection to this high-potential region and creating more travel opportunities for people in both countries. With every new connection, Vietjet hopes to bring Vietnam and the Philippines closer together while unlocking new opportunities for growth across Southeast Asia.”
