HONG KONG, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) -- Hong Kong signed an air services agreement with Lao People's Democratic Republic here on Wednesday, setting up the legal framework for the establishment of direct air links between the two places.
According to a release by the government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the document is the 60th of its kind ever signed between the region and its partners.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Hong Kong's Secretary for Transport and Housing Ms Eva Cheng said the signing of the agreement is "in line with our policy of progressive liberalization in air services between Hong Kong and our aviation partners."
She expressed the belief that the agreement will "boost tourism and contribute to economic development" in Hong Kong and Laos.
Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, anything to not have to land at BKK.
I can see it now...~20 hours travel time from NY to VTE.
That would be nice.
We must know what is the airliner to come to Lao. Is it just low cot airline or main airline such like Cathay Pacific or China Airline but Air China I would say good bye I dare not to take any kind of made in China
Anyway, I like to landed in Bangkok as I like to go for shopping first before fly back to Laos. Nice and big airport too.
yes, I read the similiar article that Guangzhou (china) woul open the directly flight to Vientiane in Nov 2006, i don't know what happened to them, now there is no any direct flights yet between big city of china and Laos, but as for this news, I am glad to hear that at least there is a news about the direct flight from Hk to Laos, hopefully this plan will act very soon.
