India's GoAir to enter Vietnam, Cambodia

The Indian budget carrier GoAir plans to add destinations such as Hanoi and Phnom Penh to its international network by the year-end. The airline, which is rapidly expanding its international presence, will also deploy capacity to Bhutan shortly. Till recently, the airline flew to just four international destinations - Phuket, Mali, Muscat and Abu Dhabi.

Lately, it has launched a slew of new international flights: Delhi-Abu Dhabi, Mumbai-Abu Dhabi, Mumbai-Muscat, Delhi-Bangkok and Kannur-Kuwait. However, some of these new international flights are being operated on re-allocated slots of Jet Airways. GoAir has the rights over these till September.

An airport slot is a specified time period granted at airports to an airline to operate its scheduled flights.

GoAir's Vice President, International Operations, Arjun Dasgupta said the airline was considering further expansion into Southeast Asia and the SAARC countries.
