Mai Linh Corporation’s central and southern branch last Wednesday celebrated graduation ceremony and handed certificates to their six powered hang-glider pilots.
The six pilots, who will join promoting flying services at cheaper price in central beach city of Nha Trang, have become qualified after passing 300 flying hours and 600 flying tours in a training program coordinated with the Vietnam People's Air Defense and Air Force.
Last year the transport and travel service company imported five hang gliders from Italy and hired pilots who are professionals from Italy and France.
Building up a team of local trained pilots will help reduce riding cost to tourists. The current price is USD70 for a 15 minute ride and is estimated to lower to just $50.
The imported sportive designed gliders have big wings and simple engine, making it easy to operate. Each glider can carry a pilot and a tourist with a speed up to 80km/h and reach a maximum height of 300 meters.
Besides tourism activities, Mai Link Corp. will also extend their service for different purposes such as construction and geology inspection, filming and photography, cultural performances and business promotion.
