TAIPEI, Feb 26 (Bernama-CNA) -- Tigerair Taiwan will launch a new direct service between Taoyuan and the Vietnamese island of Phu Quoc on April 2, as part of its ongoing efforts to expand into the Southeast Asian market.
In a statement, the low-cost carrier said it will initially fly three round-way trips between the two destinations every week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, Central News Agency (CNA) reported.
Flight IT557 bound for Phu Quoc will take off at 2.40 pm from Taoyuan International Airport, and the return flight IT558 will leave Phu Quoc at 6.25 pm, the statement said.
