Malaysia Airlines to offer Vietnam deals

Zuraidi Saisi, its manager for Vietnam, told the offer, open from May 25 to June 7, aims to attract travelers from both Vietnam and Malaysia at a time when the recession is impacting carriers around the globe.

The carrier would offer fares of US$163 to $903 to 21 destinations in Asia, Europe and Australia through its website, 600 travel agents and ticketing offices in major cities, he said. The travel period is from June 2 to October 31.

Saisi, who was recently posted to Vietnam, said the airline targets a revenue of $278,000 from the second promotion to be held in Vietnam this year.
