No frills carrier gets nod to raise fares


Budget carrier Pacific Airlines has received permission from the finance ministry to increase the maximum one-way fare from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi from VND1.375 million to VND1.55 million next month.
The carrier has been allowed to keep its nine different categories of cheap fares.
Six of them cost between 55 and 80 percent of the ceiling fare, and the remaining super-cheap tickets cost from VND15,000 to 50 percent of the maximum fare.
Pacific Airlines had a makeover as a no-frills airline in February last year.
The state-run Vietnam Airlines too has submitted to the Vietnam Civil Airline Bureau for approval new airfares on domestic routes.
