Hanoi  (VNA) – Vietjet has opened new routes connecting Perth and Adelaide cities of Australia with Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s largest metropolis.

The new services, which commenced on November 21, make Vietjet the first airline to have flights from Vietnam to Australia’s five largest cities, namely Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide.

With five return flights per week each, the new routes will make it more convenient for people to travel between the most dynamic city in Vietnam and the major cities in Australia, said a Vietjet representative, adding that the carrier will operate 58 flights from/to Australia per week from December this year.

On this occasion, Vietjet offered customers a promotion programme with ticket prices from only 0 VND (excluding taxes and fees) from November 22-28, 2023 for all domestic and international routes, with flight times from January 1 to October 31, 2024 (except for holidays and peak periods in each market).

The carrier also provides passengers with "Fly now, pay later” programme, a financial support solution for ticket payments with a quick online authentication process, under which Vietjet offers up to 15 million VND (616 USD) loans to its passengers together with other benefits including free Sky Care travel insurance./.

​Under the “green lane” process, quality control begins at the cultivation stage, including soil sampling and monitoring, and continues through harvesting and processing, with traceability labels attached to trees and applied to fruit at the time of picking. It also allows plant quarantine procedures and the issuance of certificates of origin (C/O) directly in the localities where the orchards are located.
