Vietnam’s largest private carrier, Vietjet, is adding new Airbus jets almost every month, and each time one enters service, the airline announces new routes and more frequencies on popular routes.

With the year-end and Lunar New Year holidays fast approaching, Vietjet announced new routes to Malaysia and Taiwan, opening more international connections from its two main hubs in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

On Saturday, October 5, Vietjet announced it is significantly boosting air connectivity across the region and providing additional affordable travel options during the year-end and New Year festive season.

Vietjet is launching new services and increasing flight frequencies on routes linking Vietnam’s two largest cities with key Asian destinations.

On November 28, 2024, Viejet will commence its new international service connecting Hanoi to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

The route will operate with a daily return service, marking Vietjet’s second service between Vietnam and Malaysia, complementing the daily flight between Ho Chi Minh City at Kuala Lumpur International airport

The second service announced yesterday was the resumption of flights between Ho Chi Minh City’s Tan Son Nhat International (SGN) and Taiwan Tainan Airport (TNN) from December 12, 2024.

This route will give nonstop links between Vietnam’s largest metropolis and economic hub and Taiwan’s historic Tainan, the oldest city on the island, which was formerly named Taoyuan.

With passenger demand already high, Vietjet is getting ready for the peak season by increasing flights on some of its popular Asian routes, particularly from Vietnam to Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea.

The Vietjet Group has more than 100 Airbus aircraft to service its growing network, with more A321neo Family jets due to arrive this year.
