The Secretariat hosts promotional events in the countries where NAC operates direct flight services. Currently, NAC is operating direct flights to Delhi, Bangkok, Dubai, Mumbai, Osaka, Hong Kong, Bangalore, Doha and Kuala Lumpur.

The Secretariat had earlier appointed Turkey Airlines as the official airline partner on December 20 to promote the European countries. At that time, the appointment of an official airline partner by the VNY 2020 Secretariat was criticized bypassing the national flag carrier for a national tourism campaign.

NAC believes the partnership with VNY 2020 Secretariat will be mutually beneficial.
