May 15th, 2026. Sun PhuQuoc Airways has an interesting new domestic route lined up linking Ho Chi Minh City with the northeastern province of Quang Ninh which is home to the famous Halong Bay. The service will operate three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The outbound flight will last about two hours, and the return, about twenty minutes longer. The route will be served by Airbus A321 Aircraft.
Riyadh to the Maldives
Saudi Arabian low-cost carrier Flynas will be reintroducing its service between Riyadh and the Maldives. The flight will operate three times a week on Tuesdays. Thursdays and Saturdays.
Flight number XY245 will depart from Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport at 04:50 and will touch down at Velana International, Male at 12:55. The return leg, flight number XY246, will leave Male at 13:55 and land back in Riyadh at 17:55.
An Airbus A320 Neo will be deployed for the route, and the journey time will be approximately six hours in each direction.
