Le montant du visa étant réglé au premier pays d'arrivée, il faut que le Laos y trouve son compte car pour le moment il n'a pas de liaison internationale long courrier.....mais la nouvelle compagnie LaoCentral Airlines projette l'achat de 777 long courrier après la fin des livraisons des sukhoi 100.

Wholly owned by Laos's influential Phongsavanh business group, LCA is embarking on a major expansion to strengthen its initial target market _ Laos-Thailand _ and extend its reach to various key Asean cities. On the radar screen for the longer term is the debut of intercontinental flights, to Europe, from LCA's Vientiane hub with the acquisition of Boeing 777 long-range wide-body jets, LCA chief executive Savanhphone Phongsavanh told the Bangkok Post. Setting the stage for the aggressive regional expansion of LCA, which only took to the skies in May 2012, is the roll-in of a fleet of Russian-made Sukhoi Superjet 100s that commenced last month. The Vientiane-based full-service airline signed a contract with Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Co in March 2011 for three single-aisle SSJ100s in a two-class configuration with 93 seats, with an option for an additional six jets. LCA received the first SSJ100 on Feb 15, making it the first operator of such aircraft in Southeast Asia. It has also set firm dates for taking delivery of the second and third SSJ100s, in May and August this year. With the service entry of the three SSJ100s, which are joining LCA's original fleet consisting of two old Boeing 737-400s, the airline intends to gradually launch more than seven international routes in the region. Over the next few months, LCA will begin regular service from Khon Kaen to Luang Prabang, the second Thailand-Laos route after Bangkok-Vientiane, LCA's first and only international route, said Mrs Savanhphone, the daughter of Laotian tycoon Od Phongsavanh. Six other international routes in the pipeline are Vientiane to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kunming.
