HK Express Launches Daily Flights to Vietnam's Paradise Island, Phu Quoc

As Hong Kong’s only low-cost airline, HK Express has inaugurated a new daily direct flight route between Hong Kong and Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam, starting on December 6, 2024. This marks the tenth destination to the Southeast Asia route network and the third Vietnamese destination, complementing existing services to Da Nang and Hanoi.

The daily flight schedule is as follows:

• Flight UO568: Departs Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) at 16:05, arriving at Phu Quoc International Airport (PQC) at 17:55.

• Flight UO569: Departs Phu Quoc at 18:35, arriving in Hong Kong at 22:25.

“The Central Government resumed the multiple-entry Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) for Shenzhen permanent residents and implemented a new arrangement to expand the multiple-entry IVS to Shenzhen residence permit holders on 1 December. This is expected to attract more mainland travellers to Hong Kong, who can then take HK Express flights to explore our 30+ Asian destinations”, HK Express CEO Jeanette Mao said. While Phu Quoc is currently the only visa-free region in Vietnam for foreigners* , we believe it will become one of our popular travel destinations. With HK Express’ affordable fares, our customers can enjoy a carefree getaway in Phu Quoc, often referred to as the ‘Maldives of Vietnam’.”
