GUIYANG, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Colorful Guizhou Airlines has launched a direct flight linking Guiyang, capital of southwest China's Guizhou Province, with Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam as part of China's expansion of air connectivity with ASEAN countries.
The direct Guiyang-Ho Chi Minh City flight began operating on December 6, according to the Guizhou Civil Aviation Corporation. Flight GY703 departed Guiyang at 10:50 PM Beijing time and arrived in Ho Chi Minh City at 1:30 AM local time. The return flight, GY704, departed at 2:30 AM local time and arrived in Guiyang at 7:10 AM Beijing time.
The new route will operate in parallel with the same carrier's Guiyang-Hanoi route, providing direct air service between the mountainous province of Guizhou and Vietnam's two largest cities.
Expanding air traffic will benefit trade, tourism and business ties between southwest China and ASEAN, officials believe.
In recent months, air traffic between China and ASEAN has expanded. In November, a passenger route connecting Haikou in southern China with Nha Trang in Vietnam was launched, and an all-cargo route connecting Nanjing in eastern China with Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia was also launched.
Trade and economic relations between China and ASEAN countries are demonstrating resilience. Since 2022, annual merchandise trade has remained above USD 900 billion, reaching a record USD 982.1 billion in 2024.
This growth trend continued in 2025: in the first 10 months of the year, trade turnover increased by 8.2 percent year-on-year. -0-
