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.
