Vietjet and Lao Airlines today have forged a comprehensive partnership agreement, marking a significant milestone not only for the two airline companies but also for Vietnam and Laos.
Vietjet has also announced a new route between Ho Chi Minh City and Vientiane, the capital and largest city of Laos, enhancing connectivity and offering more travel options for travelers of both countries and in the region.
The event took place in the presence of Vietnam National Assembly Chairman, Vuong Dinh Hue, Laos National Assembly Vice Chairman, Sounthone Xayachak, and leaders from the two countries’ ministries and authorities.
Under the agreement, Vietjet and Lao Airlines, the national airline of Laos, have become comprehensive partners in passenger and cargo transportation. Both airlines will also expand cooperation in technical fields, aircraft maintenance and repair, aviation workforce training, and more.
Vietjet will launch the Ho Chi Minh City – Vientiane direct service starting February 2024, making it the only direct route in the market between the two localities. The new route is expected to operate four weekly return flights, with a flight time of approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes.

Airlineratings.com was developed to provide everyone in the world with a one-stop shop for everything related to airlines, formed by a team of aviation editors, who have forensically researched nearly every airline in the world.
Our rating system is rated from one to seven stars on safety – with seven being the highest ranking. Within each airline, you will find the country of origin, airline code, booking URL and seat map information.

Every airline has a safety rating breakdown so you can see exactly how they rate.
Over 230 of the airlines on the site that carry 99 per cent of the world’s passengers have a product rating. Given that low-cost, regional and full-service carriers are so different we have constructed a different rating system for each which can be found within each airline.
