To meet rising demand for air travel between Vietnam and India as well as across the region, Vietjet has announced 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 centres, New Delhi and Mumbai.

The Da Nang – New Delhi and Hanoi – Mumbai routes will commence operations starting from 14 May 2020 with a frequency of five flights per week and three flights per week respectively. The Ho Chi Minh City – Mumbai route will operate four weekly flights starting from 15 May 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 in saving cost and time. Passengers can enjoy flying on our new and modern aircraft, and taking transit flights to famous destinations across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and many other countries, thanks to Vietjet’s extensive flight network in the Asia Pacific region,” he added.

Located in Central Vietnam, Da Nang not only possesses beautiful beaches but also world-famous tourist attractions, such as the Golden Bridge, Ba Na Hills, Dragon Bridge, and much 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 its diverse cultural, religious, culinary and tourist attractions. Besides the incredible capital of New Delhi, Mumbai, once known as Bombay, serves as one of India’s most important financial and economic centres 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 the addition of the three new routes, Vietjet will become the operator with the most direct routes between the two countries, offering five direct routes from and to India. The airline currently operates the HCMC/Hanoi – New Delhi services at a frequency of four weekly flights and three weekly flights, respectively.

As the people’s airline of choice, Vietjet always keeps up to date with the latest travel trends to introduce new flying opportunities to more and more people at reasonable prices. The new-age carrier has also implemented a program called “Protect the planet – Fly with Vietjet”, which involves a series of meaningful activities, such as “Let’s clean up the ocean”, “Take action against plastic waste”, and many more initiatives, to help create a green planet for all of humanity and protect the environment for future generations.
