HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Vietnam will allow the Thai budget airline Nok Air to fly to Hanoi from Bangkok starting in November, an official said Tuesday.
Nok Air will offer two flights a day using Boeing 737-400s and Boeing 737-800s, said Vo Huy Cuong of Vietnam's Civil Aviation Administration.
Several budget airlines -- including Singapore's Tiger Air, Thai Air Asia and Malaysia's Air Asia -- have begun flying to Vietnam the last couple years to help meet surging travel demand in the booming Southeast Asian nation.
Cuong said Vietnam air traffic has grown 14-18 percent a year in recent years.
Currently, there are 35 foreign airlines operating in Vietnam.
