Low-cost carrier Vietjet Air has recently added a programme to keep passengers informed of their flight schedules through messages from the Zalo application along with usual SMS messages.

Accordingly, the system will send a Zalo message and check its status after 5 minutes. If the message is unread, an SMS message will be sent.

The carrier also recommends passengers check the “Flight Information” section at www.vietjetair.com for the most up-to-date information on their flight schedules.

According to VietJet Air’s Director for Business Development Desmond Lin, the use of messages though social networks will help passengers save time as the information is transmitted faster.

Currently, Vietjet Air uses 28 Airbus A320 and A321 planes and operates about 190 flights daily.

The carrier has so far flown about 18 million passengers to 35 domestic and international destinations, including Singapore, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan (China), China, Thailand and Myanmar.-VNA
