On the morning of July 9, at Phu Bai International Airport, Vietnam Airlines held a ceremony to welcome the 350 millionth passenger, a memorable milestone in the journey of three decades of development.
The event took place on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Vietnam Tourism Industry's tradition and was part of a series of activities of the National Tourism Year 2025.
The particularly welcomed passenger was Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, from Hanoi on flight VN1541, which landed at 9am. The flight was welcomed with a dragon spraying ceremony, a solemn form of gratitude in the international aviation industry.
At the ceremony, Vietnam Airlines presented the platinum-class Golden Lotus Membership Card, two Business round-trip tickets and many souvenirs to the 350 millionth passenger.
The next ten passengers were given regular round-trip tickets, while all passengers on the flight also received special gifts with the image of Vietnam Airlines and the ancient capital of Hue.
Within the framework of the event, Vietnam Airlines coordinated with the People's Committee of Hue City, the National Administration of Tourism and the City Department of Tourism to launch a stimulus program "Magical Hue Night - Explore to Love".
Accordingly, tourists coming to Hue on night flights will receive special incentives such as up to 80% reduction in room rates or free first night at partner hotels.
The leaders of Hue City also shared their expectations that in the coming time, there will be a regular international flight to Hue, opening up opportunities for tourism, economic and cultural development for the heritage land.
