The budget airline Vietjet Air has announced plans to reopen the air route connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok from January 21.
According to its plan to further expand its international routes,Vietjet Air will operate two round-trip flights per week every Friday and Saturday between Tan Son Nhat and Suvarnabhumi airports.
Vietjet Vice President Nguyen Thanh Son said that the reconnection of the financial, cultural and travel hubs of Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok would contribute to the two countries’ economic recovery while meeting the increasing travel demand of people in the region, especially when the Lunar New Year holidays draw near and the peak travel season in summer follows.
“Thailand is one of the popular destinations for Vietnamese people," he said. "We are very happy to be able to reopen the route."
Vietjet has also operated many routes connecting Bangkok with other tourism and economic centres of Thailand such as Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Phuket, Krabi, Hat Yai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Surat Thani, Udon Thani, Khon Kae and Ubon Ratchathani, along with other regional routes.
Earlier on January 1, Vietjet resumed a series of international routes connecting Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City with Tokyo (Japan), Taipei (China), Seoul (the Republic of Korea) and Singapore with one round trip per week each since early January 2022. In the next phase, it will reopen its entire international flights and look to open new routes to India and Russia, and other locations.
Passengers are advised to follow regulations on Covid-19 prevention and control, and immigration regulations of destination countries including vaccine passports, negative PCR tests, quarantine, and accommodation. The airline is offering free RT- PCR test packages to all passengers flying internationally from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
