    Vietjet Resumes Con Dao Routes, Unlocking Budget-Friendly Travel to Vietnam’s Island Paradise

    Vietjet will restart its direct services from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Con Dao on 3 December 2025, providing international travellers more affordable options to explore one of Vietnam’s most captivating island destinations. With daily flights between Singapore and two of Vietnam’s biggest hubs, Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, travellers can now pair a short regional hop with an easy domestic connection to reach one of Vietnam’s most scenic island destinations.

    Tickets are now available for booking as Vietjet restores one daily round-trip service from both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Starting 15 December 2025, frequencies on both routes will double to two round-trip flights per day to accommodate surging year-end travel demand to the island.

    The resumption of these flights provides an excellent opportunity for leisure and adventure seekers from Singapore to explore Con Dao’s pristine beaches, rich biodiversity, and historic sites. Known for its untouched beaches, crystal-clear waters and protected marine ecosystems, Con Dao has emerged as one of Vietnam’s most captivating island escapes. The archipelago is home to vibrant coral reefs, sea turtle nesting sites, lush tropical forests and historically significant landmarks. Its serene, low-density environment makes it a rising favourite among Singaporean travellers seeking quiet, nature-led holidays away from crowded resort hubs.

    Vietjet is offering promotional one-way fares from only approx. SGD24 (excluding taxes and fees) for flights from and to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, making travel to Con Dao more accessible for both local and international visitors. Tickets are now available at www.vietjetair.com, the “Vietjet Air” mobile app, and through Vietjet’s worldwide network of ticket offices and authorised agents.

    With the resumption of these services, Vietjet continues to strengthen domestic connectivity while unlocking more opportunities for international travellers to discover Vietnam’s natural and cultural destinations.

    Full flight load to Langkawi signals strong rebound for domestic air travel

    AirAsia’s inaugural service from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi on Thursday (Sept 16) morning under the travel bubble recorded a 100% flight load, the carrier says, signifying a strong rebound for domestic air travel.

    The low-cost carrier said the maiden flight, the first of nine scheduled daily flights from Kuala Lumpur, left KLIA2 at 9.50am utilising an Airbus A321neo.

    “Aside from Kuala Lumpur (63 flights weekly), AirAsia also has flights to Langkawi departing from Penang (14 times weekly), Johor Baru (seven times weekly), Ipoh (three times weekly) and Kota Baru (three times weekly), making a total of 90 weekly flights,” it said in a statement.

    AirAsia Malaysia chief executive officer Riad Asmat said over 200,000 seats to Langkawi were sold in less than a week.

    “To facilitate this movement, we have prepared extensively and implemented robust and comprehensive health and safety protocols to ensure all of our guests can travel safely, with our 100% vaccinated crew and frontliners.

    “After months of preparation, we are thrilled to get the country flying again and are ready to scale up our operations to meet overwhelming demand.

    “We hope more travel bubbles will be established across the country soon in line with the accelerated vaccination roll-out, and eventually across the region when it is safe to do so,” he added.
