Air Vietnam news on explosive aviation growth

According to Vietnam airlines news, Vietnam is forecasted to become one of the fastest-growing aviation markets in the world.

The young Vietnam aviation industry prepares to enter an explosive growth period, in the background of the competition level between domesticairlines becomes higher through flying team expansion, new route opening and IPO preparation.
According to the figure of Reuters, although Vietnam

Economy is only growing at a rate of about 5 % per year - the slowest in 13 recent years, the air traveling demand is growing with double-digit rate. This means that Vietnam provides new opportunities for many aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, as well as the regional manufacturers such as Mitsubishi Aircraft Corp, Bombardier or Embracer.

At present, Vietnam Airline still has the largest market share in the domestic air market. This national airline will increase the number of aircraft to 101 aircrafts in 2015 and prepare to IPO in 2nd quarter 2014. "IPO plans are on schedule", said Mr. Le Truong Giang, spokesman of VietnamAirways.

The flying team of Vietnam Air now includes Airbus and Boeing aircrafts. The airline has also ordered Boeing 787 Dream liner, Airbus 350 and other aircraft orders through the aircraft leasing companies.

Vietnam Airline has its share in the cheap airline named Jetstar Pacific, a joint venture with Qantas Airways (Australia). A spokesman of Jetstar Pacific said the airline expects to triple its aircraft team, from 5 to 16 Airbus A320 aircrafts in the next few years.

The Vietnam growth potential of aviation market comes from many geographical factors. Vietnam has a length of 1,650 km, the long distance between major cities and tourism places, while road and railway infrastructures are underdeveloped. Meanwhile, passengers need to spend only a few hours of flying from Japan, Korea, Hong kong, Thailand and China to Vietnam. Thus, the number of international visitors to Vietnam are rising sharply, reaching 5.5 million in the first 9 months of this year, 10 % higher than this figure in the same period in 2012.

Visit Vietnam terraced fields with Vietnam Airlines

Vietnam airlines wants to share with you another impressive sight in Vietnam called terraced field. This agricultural model is applied in mountainous areas of Vietnam where most of the land is surrounded by hills and mountains, local ethnic minority people can still take advantages of the steep terrain to pump water from higher place to lower one, so granite rock and mountain cliffs are fertilized. Terracing allows the tough land to support the need for crops, livestock and poultry of local people and improve their lives. Other features of terraced fields is to avoid erosion by preserving rain and runoff water in the ladders. Moreover, used-to-be unused hillside became arable thanks to terraced agriculture.

In Vietnam, terraced field not only provides way to produce for local people but also create a special beautiful landscape. The best season to marvel at the beauty of terraced fields in Vietnam is autumn, from middle of September to the beginning of October in Western calendar. This is the time rice is ready to be harvested, the whole fields color changes into yellow. A large area from the foot to nearly top of mountains covered in a citrine color becomes such an appealing scenery. Some most famous terraced fields in mountainous areas of Vietnam can be mentioned as Mu Cang Chai (Yen Bai province), Sapa, Hoang Su Phi.

Specially, US magazine Travel and Leisure chose Sapa terraced fields as one of seven most impressive fields in Asia. Terraced fields in Mu Cang Chai were titled national heritage by Ministry of Culture, Sport and Tourism in 2007. Hoang Su Phi was also recognized as nation cultural relics in 2012. Nowadays, there are more and more visitors come to northwestern areas in autumn to witness how fascinating it is in real eyes. Especially, a lot of foreigners are attracted by the charm of this region. Many of them take flight to vietnam every year to enjoy the spectacular beauty of peaceful nature here.
