Vietjet strengthens China–Vietnam flight network

Vietjet has announced the launch of two new direct routes connecting Vietnam’s capital Hanoi with Chengdu and Xi’an in China. The inaugural flights are scheduled for July 1 and July 6, 2025, respectively, with each route offering four round-trip flights per week. These new services bring the airline’s total number of Vietnam–China direct routes introduced in the first half of 2025 to seven, further strengthening its expanding flight network. These new services follow the five recent launches connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with Beijing and Guangzhou, as well as the Hanoi-Shanghai service in March and April. The two additional services will strengthen comprehensive air connectivity between Vietnam and China, promoting tourism and trade while offering greater access between China, Southeast Asia and beyond. Vietjet has been rapidly expanding its international flight network, particularly between Vietnam and China, with direct routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to major Chinese cities including Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi’an, Beijing, Guangzhou. The airline also strengthened regional connectivity with additional services to India—linking Ho Chi Minh City to Hyderabad and Bengaluru—and to Japan’s Nagoya and Fukuoka. A new service between Phu Quoc island and Singapore will also be commenced end of this month. These strategic expansions reflect Vietjet’s strong commitment to enhancing international cooperation and offering more affordable and convenient travel options across the Asia-Pacific region.
