VIETNAM: VietJet Air Launched New Air Route To Bangkok

The budgeted airline VietJet Air has newly launched its first international air route Ho Chi Minh City – Bangkok during Tet Holiday. This adds another considerable option for both domestic and international passengers in Vietnam to save one’s money when travel to Thailand.

At present, VietJet Air offers only one flight per day from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok. The airline also planned to open similar routes Hanoi - Bangkok in this May, and Da Nang – Bangkok in this August.

Thais media considers this new launch as a critical step of VietJet Air to integrate with the Asian air carrier alliance. Thais media mentioned about the scandal bikini shows on the airplane of VietJet Air but don’t fail to praise that the airline is going on the right track to fix its mistake and no longer apply handy tips to attract more passengers.

Although VietJet Air has been established for more than one year, it has been developing rapidly to overwhelm Air Mekong and Jetstar to be the second most favorite air carrier in the domestic market after the national airline Vietnam Airlines.

Until now, VietJet Air operates on 9 domestic routes with 6 Airbus A320 airplanes and the airline intends to increase its fleet to a minimum of 20 airplanes in 2015 to expand its business to other market in the Northeastern Asia, Korea and Taiwan.
