Low-cost carrier Jetstar Airways of Australia is all set to launch two direct flights from Melbourne and Sydney to Ho Chi Minh City from next month.
Australian Assistant Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment Keith Pitt and representatives of Jetstar Airways made the announcement at a press conference in Ho Chi Minh City on April 5.
Accordingly, Jetstar Airways will use Boeing 787 Dreamliner for three flights per week from May 10 between Ho Chi Minh City and Melbourne, and four flights per week from May 11 between Ho Chi Minh City and Sydney.
In the past 12 months, the flow of visitors from Vietnam to Australia has increased by 21%, and the number is expected to further rise after the launch of the two air routes, said Paul Rombeek, Jetstar Groups’ Global Head of Sale.
Assistant Minister Keith Pitt said that Vietnam is soon becoming one of the most attractive destinations in South East Asia for Australian tourists.
He also noted that the new flights will connect economic hubs of Australia and Vietnam, promoting the linkage between people and businesses of the two countries.
