| With
the two new flights, the French aviation company will
have seven weekly flights from the two Vietnamese cities
to Paris from March 28 to October 30.
Air
France flies the Ho Chi Minh City -Paris route on Tuesdays,
Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays while the Hanoi -Paris
route is scheduled for the other days of the week.
Earlier,
Air France said it would temporary suspend its non-stop
flights linking the two Vietnamese cities to Paris between
March 28 and Oct. 30, 2005. Instead, it will service
the flights with a stopover in Bangkok for one and a
half hours.
The
airline declared that their code-share contract with
Vietnam Airlines for the non-stop flights from Vietnam
to Paris would start up again from Oct. 31, 2005 to
March 27, 2006.
Since
Air France’s merger with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines in
2003, the French airline will also represent KLM in
its Vietnam flight services as of April 1, 2005.
