Vietjet has launched direct flights from Mumbai to Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and Ho Chi Minh City, the country’s largest city.
The two direct routes’ inaugural flight ceremonies were held with great fanfare at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), with the presence of the Consulate General of Vietnam in Mumbai, airport officials, Vietjet management representatives, and hundreds of passengers onboard the inaugural flights.
Vietjet’s Vice President Do Xuan Quang, said, “Following our launch of New Delhi – Ho Chi Minh City/Hanoi services, we are delighted to launch two more direct routes between Vietnam and Mumbai. We believe that the two services from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Mumbai as well as the coming Phu Quoc – Mumbai route will strengthen the ongoing relationship of Vietnam’s two biggest cities with Mumbai. The services launched between Ho Chi Minh City/Hanoi and Mumbai operate four and thrice-weekly flights respectively and we expect to increase the frequency in coming time to meet customer’s demand.”
