These routes are set to begin from the third quarter of 2022 (November, according to latest updates), and will have between four to seven return flights operating in a week, the airlines said in a statement, reports Hindustan Times.
This news comes weeks after the airline announced new routes between New Delhi/Mumbai and Hanoi, along with New Delhi/Mumbai and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietjet already operates on four routes at the moment – New Delhi/Mumbai – Hanoi and New Delhi/Mumbai – Ho Chi Minh City, and plans to begin New Delhi/Mumbai to Phu Quoc have already been announced, to increase connectivity between the countries and boost travel and tourism.
According to Zee News, this event also marks Vietjet’s announcement to include Da Nang’s tourism symbol on its fleet, to promote the city as a tourist destination across the world. The media house reported the airline company’s Vice President Nguyen Thanh Son as saying, “Vietjet believes that the new routes announced today (June 27) will continue to contribute to opening more opportunities, promoting economic, trade, and business investment between Da Nang and other Vietnamese cities and regional destinations.”
Vietnam is among the most stunning (and affordable) countries that one can visit. With a varied landscape ranging from beaches to mountains and everything in between, to some beautiful temples, gastronomic delights and a lot more that make the country so special.
