SHANGHAI ((Reuters)) - Two Chinese-made COMAC aircraft, branded as C909, started flying routes in Vietnam on Saturday, Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC), the Chinese planemaker said.
The planes were leased by China's Chengdu Airlines to Vietnamese budget airline VietJet, and the route opening marks the start of COMAC's commercial operation in Vietnam, according it said in a statement.
The airline operates flights between the capital Hanoi and Con Dao Island off southern Vietnam, as well as between business hub Ho Chi Minh City and Con Dao.
