Parata Airlines announced on the 19th that it will operate the Incheon-Hanoi route seven times a week starting from July 13. The route will utilize an Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft with 260 seats.

According to the flight schedule, flights will depart from Incheon International Airport at 7:55 p.m. and arrive at Hanoi Airport at 10:50 p.m. local time. The return flight will depart from Hanoi at 12:20 a.m. local time and arrive in Incheon at 6:40 a.m. Korean time.

Hanoi is Vietnam's economic hub, home to a concentration of manufacturing facilities operated by Korean companies, resulting in steady business travel demand. Unlike tourist-focused routes, this route is expected to secure profitability based on stable commercial demand.

This new route is part of Parata Airlines' fleet expansion strategy. The company recently finalized a contract to introduce its fifth aircraft, accelerating efforts to strengthen competitiveness on medium- and long-haul routes. The new aircraft is scheduled to be introduced within the first half of the year and will be deployed on new routes. Since launching its first aircraft in July last year, Parata Airlines has added a total of four aircraft to its fleet and is currently negotiating additional acquisitions.

A Parata Airlines official stated, "Hanoi is a strategic hub supported by both business and cargo demand. We plan to secure route profitability based on stable demand and develop it as a core axis for network expansion."
