Vietnam rushes for new north-south air path as traffic grows

Vietnamese agencies plan to launch a new flight path connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City as increasing air traffic on the country’s busiest route may cause strain and congestion, the government’s website has reported.
 
The new path will run parallel but 30 kilometers above the existing one, it said, citing the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam’s chief Lai Xuan Thanh.
