The launch of this route has attracted significant attention and received congratulations from both locals and travellers in the two cities as well as Vietnam and China.

This new route marks a robust expansion of Vietjet's flight network in China, with flights operating on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

Following Vietjet’s routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Xi’an, and Hanoi with Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, the Hanoi – Chengdu route provides more opportunities to explore cultural values, visit heritage sites, and facilitate convenient business trips between Vietnam and China.

Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan province, is famous not only for its breathtaking natural beauty but also as the homeland of the panda, China’s national treasure, and the world heritage site Jiuzhaigou Valley.
