Vietnam Airlines and Polish partner enhance cooperation
PANO – The national flag carrier, Vietnam Airlines (VNA) and LOT Polish Airlines signed a cooperation agreement on November 30 to bring more benefits and travel options to their passengers.
The cooperation agreement between VNA and LOT will give passengers preferential rates when buying tickets from the two companies.
The signing ceremony took place during Polish President Andrzej Duda’s visit to Vietnam from November 27 to 30.
Under the agreement, passengers can buy tickets from VNA or LOT to make the journey between Hanoi/HCM City and Warsaw, Poland via the transit points of Paris, Frankfurt, Moscow and London. VNA will carry passengers between Vietnam and these transit points, while LOT will transport passengers between these transit points and Warsaw.
From Warsaw, passengers can continue their journey on LOT flights to many other Polish and European destinations.
The co-operation agreement also gives passengers preferential rates when buying tickets from VNA or LOT, compared to the purchase of tickets for each leg of every airline to conduct their entire journey.
Vietnam Airlines and LOT have co-operated since 1998. During the period from 2011-2016, the number of visitors between Vietnam and Poland grew by 5.5 per cent per year and reached approximately 24,000 visitors in 2016. Of these, more than 90 per cent were visitors from Poland to Vietnam.
