Vietjet to Operate Direct Flights Connecting Vietnam and India

In the third quarter of 2018, travelers from India will be able to fly direct to Vietnam and vice versa following an announcement made at the recent Vietnam – India Business Forum. The move is set to create bigger opportunities for the airline as there are currently no direct flights from India to Vietnam.

The announcement which was witnessed by H.E Vietnam President Tran Dai Quang and senior leaders of Vietnam and India also marks a significant milestone for the country especially in light of the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and India and the 10th anniversary of strategic partnership between the two countries.

The first route is scheduled to connect Ho Chi Minh City with New Delhi on a basis of four flights per week.

Located in Southern Asia, India has the second largest population in the world, making it a huge potential market for Vietjet in the future. It is an extremely diverse country, with vast differences in geography, climate, culture, language and ethnicity. The country is also blessed with marvelous natural landscapes and grand architectures which have been listed in UNESCO’s World Heritage List including The Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area, Ajanta Caves, Taj Mahal and Humayun’s Tomb to name a few.

Vietnam on the other hand, is a bustling country that possesses an eclectic mix of local hotspots. From crystal-blue beaches to misty mountains and buzzing cities with mouthwatering cuisines, Vietnam is certainly a place that caters to the whims and fancy of any type of traveler. Some of the must-see destinations in Vietnam include Hanoi, the country’s cultural capital; Hue, a romantic citadel; the magnificent Da Nang, one of Vietnam’s most important port cities, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s economic hub.

The introduction of the new route thus presents Vietjet with an opportunity to not only tap into the growing tourism market but also facilitate trade integration and exchange between Vietnam and India.

Modeling itself as a ‘Consumer Airline’, Vietjet will continue to meet the growing demands of consumers by introducing new routes, expanding its fleet, investing in modern technology, and offering greater value-added products and services. The airline also prides itself in offering diverse promotional programs on tickets and entertainment especially during the festive seasons.

Vietjet is favored and known as a pioneer for its many interesting entertainment activities and special promotions during the festive seasons. With its high-quality services, special low-fare tickets and diverse ticket classes, Vietjet offers passengers enjoyable flights with a dynamic and friendly flight crew, comfy seats, amazing hot meals and special surprises from the airline’s inflight activities.
