Vietjet will launch the three routes in the
coming three months. The Osaka-Hanoi route will commence operations on November 8, 2018, the Osaka-Ho Chi Minh City route on December 14,
2018, and the Tokyo-Hanoi route on January 11, 2019. All routes are operated
with a daily return flight each. Customers can now book Vietjet’s Japan-Vietnam
routes on vietjetair.com.
Addressing the event, Vietnam's Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc
said: “The launch of Vietjet’s routes from Vietnam to the Kansai region of
Japan on this occasion has great significance in sharing the cause to rebuild
Kansai’s economy and tourism after being devastated by the storm in early
September, and contributes to the tourism, trade and integration development
between the two countries and in the region.”
Also speaking at the event, Mr. Hiroshi Tabata, Commissioner of Japan Tourism Agency, said: “It is our great pleasure to welcome and give full
support to the successful launch and operation of Vietjet’s flights to Kansai
International Airport in Osaka. These newly launched flights to Kansai
International Airport will be a huge boost for tourism
in the Kansai area and thereby contribute to the recovery
of the local economy which has been left reeling from the damage
caused by typhoon Jebi. I believe that these new routes will
also contribute to an increase in the number of Vietnamese
visitors coming to Japan.”
He also expressed his belief that
Vietjet’s flights to Japan will bring new travel experiences and choices for
passengers from Vietnam and Japan thus contributing to the
development of comprehensive economic and
cultural ties between the two countries.
Vietjet has already worked with Japanese
partners to organize several flights from Vietnam to airports in Osaka, Narita,
Sendai, Nagoya, Komatsu, Ibaraki and Fukushima. These
flights were very well received by Japanese
passengers.
