SilkAir is now flying direct to Vientiane and Luang Prabang
Care to visit the age-old Buddhist temples, French-colonial buildings and broad boulevards of Vientiane? How about the quaint ancient town of Luang Prabang, which was designated a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1995?
It is now easier to get there with SilkAir. The regional wing of Singapore Airlines launched its inaugural flight to Vientiane and Luang Prabang, Laos, on Monday. The airline is flying to Laos on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, with same-day return, and the flights will be operated with the Airbus A320 aircraft, featuring both business and economy class cabins.
“There is an increasing interest in Laos, with more people wanting to get authentic experiences that are an escape from the usual cityscape. We see great potential in Vientiane and Luang Prabang for both leisure and business travel,” said Foo Chai Woo, chief executive of SilkAir.
“As the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, SilkAir has long been the champion of a diverse range of destinations in Asia, from major cities to popular leisure spots as well as places which are relatively untouched by mass tourism.”
He added that besides Singapore, SilkAir sees a great level of interest (in Laos) from travellers from Australia/New Zealand and Europe as well as Korea. “We hope that with these flights, we can promote traffic from the region and the world, in particular from SIA’s network, to visit Laos, via Singapore.”
