First non-stop flight from Sweden to Phu Quoc Island begins
Phu Quoc Island welcomed the first arrival of the premier nonstop
flight on a B-787 Dreamliner from Sweden yesterday, March 8.
The flight was operated by TUI Nordic’s sister airline company Thomson Airways.
”We are very excited to open Phu Quoc Island as destination for our Nordic
customers with three arrivals this month. Our ambition is to grow the
destination and from December 2016 through end of March 2017 one flight per week
will arrive in Phu Quoc,” Tommy Serban, senior product manager of TUI Nordic,
said.
With the new international airport enabling direct flights from the Nordic
countries, TUI Nordic has been looking for hotels that will meet the
requirements and expectations of Nordic customers.
TUI Nordic’s customers generally stay for an average of 14 nights. Seventy per
cent stay in modern 4-star properties, some in the 5-star hotel segment and some
in less expensive bungalows on the beach.
”Phu Quoc Island has a relatively low number of hotels. With a few extra hotels
with the correct layout, location and quality this can change, and that is
important in order to secure a successful buildup of Phu Quoc as a destination.
Overall, we see a lot of potential for Phu Quoc,” Serban said.
