Budget airline Vietjet is scheduled to run direct fights between Ho Chi minh City (Vietnam) and Shanghai (China), starting on December 1, 2023.
The airline announced seven round-trip flights per week, with each flight taking more than four hours to fly between the two destinations.
The launch of the new route is to celebrate 74 years of diplomatic ties between Vietnam and China (1950-2024) and 30 years of the sister city relationship between Ho Chi Minh City and Shanghai (1994-2024). It is anticipated to further promote trade, culture and education cooperation, as well as people-to-people exchanges between the two cities and two countries.
On this occasion, Vietjet offered big promotions for passengers to choose its flights on this new route.
Vietjet has operated flights between Vietnam and China since 2014, with first flights bringing Chinese travelers to top tourist destinations in Vietnam such as Nha Trang, Da Nang, and Phu Quoc.
The new route will not only connect Shanghai with Ho Chi Minh City but also expand Vietjet’s flight network covering Vietnam, Australia, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Kazakhstan.
