Vietjet has come a long way since its inaugural flight on December 24, 2011, from Tan Son Nhat Airport to Noi Bai Airport. As Vietnam’s first private airline, Vietjet has revolutionized air travel in the country by offering ultra-low-cost tickets, making flying accessible to everyone. But it’s more than just affordable prices; Vietjet has truly transformed the aviation industry in Vietnam.
Vietjet welcomes its 200 millionth passenger.
Vietjet’s entry into the market changed people’s travel habits. What was once considered a luxury is now a familiar means of transportation. With its ultra-low-cost model and daily promotions, including tickets from just 0 VND (*), Vietjet has made flying a reality for millions. This includes first-time flyers such as elderly farmers, mothers, and workers, helping them reunite with their families and explore new destinations with ease.
Vietjet’s spirit of innovation and exploration knows no bounds. The airline has expanded its reach across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, and India, and even ventured further to Australia. They are the only carrier operating direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Bali, Indonesia. Additionally, Vietjet offers an extensive network of routes between Vietnam and South Korea, with over 37 routes connecting 6 major cities in each country and serving more than 10 million passengers.
Mr. Hung Vo from Hanoi, a frequent flyer between Vietnam and Japan, shares his experience: “Vietjet has been my go-to airline for years now. Both I and my Japanese friends appreciate their extensive network, flexible schedules, competitive prices, and attentive services.”
Vietjet is also known for its community initiatives. They launched their first flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Taipei, Taiwan, as a “love connection,” offering free tickets to those in need. This flight fulfilled the long-awaited dream of many to return to their homeland. Vietjet continues to spread its wings of love and compassion, making a tangible difference in people’s lives.
Australia has also witnessed the Vietjet effect. Within a year, the airline successfully launched direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to five major Australian cities: Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Notably, after more than 23 years, Vietjet became the first carrier to operate direct flights to Brisbane and Adelaide, reducing travel time to just 8-9 hours, compared to the previous multi-layover flights that took much longer.
A passenger on the inaugural flight from Brisbane to Ho Chi Minh City, Ms. Ha Phuong, shared her excitement: “I was overjoyed when I heard that Vietjet was launching direct flights from Brisbane. I want to thank them for understanding the needs of expatriates. Now, the journey back home is much shorter, saving time and energy, and giving me more motivation to fly.”
Vietjet has made a significant impact on the Australia route, operating over 50 flights per week and serving more than 20,000 passengers. With the addition of flights from Hanoi, Vietjet has become one of the leading carriers between the two countries, earning the trust and loyalty of travelers. Australia is now closer than ever with Vietjet!
