International passenger route from Nanning, Guangxi to Haiphong, Vietnam resumes service

China News Service, Nanning, November 10 (Chen Qiuxia, Liang Xiao) Beibu Gulf Airlines flight GX8989 took off smoothly from Nanning Wuxu International Airport in Guangxi on the 10th, marking the resumption of navigation on the international passenger route from Nanning to Haiphong, Vietnam. This route is the only international passenger route from Guangxi to Haiphong, Vietnam, adding another air channel for economic and trade exchanges and cultural exchanges between China and Vietnam.

Currently, Nanning Wuxu International Airport is connected to 10 ASEAN countries and operates 12 ASEAN international passenger routes to Bangkok, Thailand, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Hanoi, Vietnam.

The Nanning-Haiphong route flight number is GX8989/GX8990. It flies every Tuesday and Saturday, and the one-way flight time is about 1 hour. The outbound flight GX8989 took off from Nanning Wuwei International Airport at 14:00 (Beijing time, the same below) and arrived at Haiphong Cat Bi International Airport at 15:05; the return flight GX8990 took off from Haiphong at 16:05 and arrived in Nanning at 17:10.

Haiphong is an important port city in northern Vietnam. After the resumption of flights, the travel time between the two places has been greatly shortened. Chinese passengers can go directly to Haiphong via Nanning and conveniently access the city clusters in northern Vietnam. Vietnamese passengers can also transfer to various parts of China via Nanning. This will effectively promote cross-border business exchanges and cultural and tourism exchanges between China and Vietnam, and help Guangxi deeply connect with the ASEAN market.

In 2027, Nanning Wuxu International Airport plans to develop multiple ASEAN international passenger routes from Nanning to Bandar Seri Begawan in Brunei, Dili in East Timor, and Manila in the Philippines.
