INTRODUCTION:
In essence, traveling is the movement of the human so it is very important to set up
or prepare a best mean of transport in tourism. All of the tourists hope that they will
have comfortable and safe means of transport in their journey.
In Hanoi, the traffic is always crowded, means of transport are various. Means as
bus, taxi, car, train, plane, cyclo, bike, motorbike…are available. Motorbike is the
most popular; there is a huge number of a motorbike in Hanoi streets. This is a
difference between the traffic in Hanoi and the traffic in other capital city in the
world.
This is an assignment for the course 4B. In this time, we will work in a small group
of four or five members. We must collect and analyze the information of means of
transport available in Hanoi or from Hanoi to some of the most favorite tourist

destinations. Then we have to write a report on researches and experiences we got

teacher. Our group must research the information of means of transportation from
Hanoi to Dalat.
Dalat is a beautiful city and wonderful destination for most of domestic and foreign
tourists. Dalat has not only many beautiful sights but also pleasant climate. It is cool
all year. The distance from Hanoi to Dalat is about 968 km and we can go to Dalat
by car, train, or airplane. Maybe, nowadays airplane is the most popular. So we
decided to focus on researching the information of airplane from Hanoi to Dalat.
After collecting and researching the information of means of transport from Hanoi

to Dalat. We think it is able to be helpful for all tourists to have a comfortable time.

II.1. History
The airlines from Hanoi to Dalat start in Noi Bai international airport and finish at
Lien Khuong airport.
Lien Khuong airport is one of the first airports in Vietnam. It was built by the
French colonists in 1933 with a 700-meter-long soil runway. From 1956 - 1960
American armies reconstructed and upgraded Lien Khuong Airport with rather
completed facilities is not the infrastructure is quite complete, the terminal was
designed in French architecture with three stories. But at this time, there were no
plane to Hanoi or from Hanoi to Dalat.
From 1975, after the liberation of the south of Vietnam, there were several flights
from the Hanoi to Dalat, but with the economical purpose because people did not
have the habit of using the plane as a means of transportation to travel when the life
was not prosperous enough.
It must be until 2003, Vietnam government accepted The Vietnam National Airline
(Vietnam Airline) to improve the Lien Khuong airport as well as open a new line

from Dalat to Hanoi and from Hanoi to Dalat. At 9:10, in October 29
th
2004, the first
Fokker 70 of Vietnam airline has taken off at the Lien Khuong airport in Dalat, and
flied to Hanoi.
II.2 Its development (changes in quantity and quality)
It was so difficult to find a flight from Hanoi to Dalat during the time from 1975 to
2003. The flights were just to serve the politicians or business men. However, after
the new line of Vietnam Airline was opened, there are more and more flights from
Hanoi to Dalat and more people in Hanoi choose the plane to travel to Dalat.

In October of 2004, there were only 3 flights per week. In June 2005, there were 4
flights per a week. Nowadays, the passengers can fly everyday from Hanoi to Dalat
or Dalat to Hanoi. Also nowadays, this line has been always used with 97% - 98%
of its power, which show that it is one of the most effective air lines of Vietnam
Airlines.
At first, there were only about 300 passengers per week used plane to go to Dalat
from Hanoi and the about 300 passengers flied from Dalat to Hanoi. Nowadays,
more than 2700 people choose flights for one way of Hanoi – Dalat‘s air way. The
local government decided to widen the airline in Dalat to become an internal airport.
Thus, by 2025, there will be about 2500000 passengers fly to Dalat, and half of
them from Hanoi. That must be an effective air line.
There are many changes in the size and kind of the plane that Vietnam airline use in
this line. Firstly, they just have the small and medium planes like ATR72 and
Fokker70, and there are only 5 planes. In March 2006, the bigger planes such as
Boeing767, A320 and A321 were first used.
In 5 rest aviation service companies, VietJetAir and Air Speed Up have just
established in 2008, they started offering popular flights in late 2008, exclude Hanoi
to Dalat. Vasco was established in 1987, mostly offers flights in Southern area.

Pacific Airlines (established in 1991) or Jetstar Airways (established in 2007, a
brand of Pacific Airlines) tends to harness route from Hanoi to Dalat in the near
future.
