Jetstar resumes Flights between Australia and Vietnam


Jetstar has resumed direct Flights between Australia and Vietnam for the first time in five years.  Flight JQ63, operated with Boeing 787-8 VH-VKH took off from Melbourne Tullamarine a little after 1545 on Wednesday bound for Ho Chi Minh City.  The Qantas-owned low-cost carrier (LCC) will operate three Flights a week from Melbourne and four Flights a week from Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City.

Jetstar last served Vietnam in 2012, when it ended narrowbody Flights on the Darwin-Ho Chi Minh City route. Previously, the LCC also had a short-lived Airbus A330-200 service from Australia’s east coast to Ho Chi Minh City.

“There is enormous potential for Vietnam to become one of the most popular destinations for Australian travellers thanks to its wonderful year-round climate and great beaches, food and culture,” Jetstar Australia and New Zealand chief executive Dean Salter said in a statement on Wednesday.
“We are already the biggest Australian carrier operating into Bali, Phuket and Hawaii – Vietnam is the next step in expanding our international network for budget conscious travellers.”    Jetstar, whose 787-8s are configured with 21 business and 314 economy class seats, joins Vietnam Airlines in offering nonstop Flights between Australia and Vietnam. The Vietnamese flag carrier and Skyteam alliance member has daily services to both Melbourne and Sydney from its Ho Chi Minh City hub in addition to three Flights a week linking Sydney and Hanoi.

Qantas, which owns 100 per cent of Jetstar Australia and New Zealand, places its QF Airline code on Vietnam Airlines’ two Australian routes.

Further, Qantas and Vietnam Airlines are joint shareholders in Jetstar Pacific, with the Australian company holding a 30 per cent stake in the Vietnam-based LCC and Vietnam Airlines owning the remaining 70 per cent.

Salter, who was on board Wednesday afternoon’s Flight from Melbourne said passengers could connect onwards to 15 domestic destinations in Vietnam on the Jetstar Pacific network.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia.

Aviation Fuel sniffing prompts Warning in Australia .  Australian Northern Territory Australian health officials have warned of a "serious" incidence of children inhaling Aviation fuel in the Northern Territory.  Security camera footage shows children breaking into the remote Elcho Island Airport and siphoning fuel from planes. Petrol sniffing is not a new challenge to hit remote communities, but Aviation fuel is even more dangerous because it contains lead, local officials  aid. Lead exposure can badly damage the brain and nervous system.   Health officials believe more than 100 youths - one as young as seven - have inhaled the fuel on Elcho Island and a nearby area since March last year. "Our kids are ending up in hospital by getting infected by chemicals, which is bad for them," one Aboriginal elder, John Gurrumgurrum Burarrwanga, told the Australian Broadcasting Corp. #Aviation_English_News_ Readers_Positions  #E...
