VietJet officially welcomes passengers on direct flights connecting one of Australia’s largest cities – Melbourne with Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. With Vietnam acting as a hub for Southeast Asia, the recently inaugurated route will help VietJet facilitate the movement of international travellers, boosting tourism & trade between the two continents.

This route is Vietjet’s sixth route connecting Vietnam and Australia, with two round trips every Tuesday and Saturday. The airline currently operates 58 weekly flights connecting Australia and Vietnam and will launch the Sydney—Hanoi route on June 8, 2024.

With the two new routes, Vietjet has further solidifed their position as the largest airline operating between Vietnam and Australia. In India, it has also established several strategic expansions, operating a total of 29 weekly round-trip flights and creating direct connections between Vietnam and four key Indian cities – New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Kochi. VietJet’s footprint and connectivity between Vietnam and India are well established, expanding through modern fleets, dedicated crews, and attractive promotions specific to Indian customers.

Vietjet offers a premium Business Class experience that includes an exclusive check-in line, priority lanes, business lounges, authentic hot and fresh dishes served throughout the flight, up to 60kg of checked baggage plus a golf set, a private cabin, and 180-degree flatbed seats. From now until June 14, Business Class fares are available at a 50% discount (*) with the promo code SBJUNE50.

All passengers flying with Vietjet will also receive free SkyCare travel insurance, covering benefits from health and medical expenses due to accidents and illnesses to flight-related issues (such as flight delays, baggage delays, lost baggage, and personal documents), and 24/7 global medical and travel assistance services. Additionally, passengers flying with Vietjet this summer can earn points and redeem rewards with the Vietjet SkyJoy loyalty program and participate in lucky draws.
