(Ho
Chi Minh City, February 6, 2020) – To
meet rising demand for travel between Vietnam
and India
as well as across the region, Vietjet has opened
three
new direct routes
connecting Vietnam’s three largest hubs, Da Nang, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, with two of India’s largest economic, political and cultural centers of New
Delhi and Mumbai.
Accordingly,
the Da Nang
– New Delhi and Hanoi – Mumbai routes will commence operations starting from May 14, 2020 with a frequency of five
flights per week and three flights per week respectively. The Ho Chi Minh City –
Mumbai routes will operate four
weekly flights from May 15, 2020.
“We are excited
to continue connecting Vietnam destinations to the
market of over 1.2 billion population in India after
receiving positive feedback regarding our
previous two direct flights that linked both
Ho
Chi Minh City and Hanoi with
New Delhi,” said Vietjet
Vice President Nguyen Thanh Son.
“With
just over five hours of flight time per leg, and a convenient flight schedule throughout
the week, Vietjet's newest routes
between Vietnam and India will create many more trade and tourism opportunities between the two countries, helping to boost the economies of both. The expansion of Vietjet's flight network into India also reaffirms the airline's ongoing commitment to continuously help flyers save on cost and time. Passengers can enjoy flying on
our new and modern aircraft and taking transit flights
to famous
destinations across Southeast Asia, including
Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and many other countries, thanks to Vietjet’s extensive flight network in the Asia Pacific region”, he added.

more.
The city also serves as a gateway to many of the country’s most famous heritage sites, including the ancient town of Hoi
An, the former imperial citadel in Hue city, the world’s biggest cave Son Doong and many other fascinating destinations. Meanwhile, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City are
Vietnam’s two largest political,
financial, economic and cultural hubs, offering tourists a heady
mix of historical sites, cultural activities, incredible shopping options,
cosmopolitan dining as well as amazing street food.
In recent years, India has emerged into one of Asia’s
most
exciting and attractive
destinations thanks to numerous and diverse cultural, religious, culinary
and tourism attractions. Besides the incredible capital of New Delhi, Mumbai, once known as Bombay, serves as one of India's most important financial and
economic centers and is an extremely enchanting destination in its own right. India is also well-known as an ancient and captivating land with many treasures of cultural heritage,
colorful festivals and historic
religious sites.
With
all three
of the new
routes launching operations in May 2020, Vietjet will become the operator with the most
direct routes between the two countries, offering five direct routes from and to
India.

services at a frequency of four
weekly flights and three weekly flights respectively.

opportunities to more and more people at reasonable prices. The new-age carrier
