Lao Airlines revives regional flights

Lao Airways has released details of its winter schedule on its Facebook page confirming it has resumed flights on regional routes from Vientiane and Luang Prabang. The national airline said the winter timetable responded to signs that domestic and international tourism was “resuming after suspending flights for years due to the Covid-19 outbreak. However, the airline’s website has no timetable, schedules or flight network details (the routenet graphic is outdated pre-Covid). You are directed to the website’s standard booking engine page, where you insert your dates and destination and hope for a match. On its Facebook page, the airline says it resumed flights effective 30 October on the route Vientiane – Luang Prabang – Xieng Mai every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Flights on the Luang Prabang – Hanoi route operate every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The Luang Prabang – Pakse route returns with flights every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday since 1 November. <br/>
