Expanding its flight network from Vietnam's capital city of Hanoi, Vietjet is set to introduce a new direct route to Sydney, further enhancing its connectivity. Following the recent announcement of the Hanoi – Melbourne route, the Hanoi – Sydney service is scheduled to commence operations in June. This direct air link will substantially reduce travel times, offering more cost-effective options compared to connecting flights.

Commencing on June 8, 2024, the Hanoi - Sydney route will operate twice weekly flights, departing from Hanoi on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and arriving in Sydney the following day. Return flights from Sydney will transport travelers back to Hanoi on Thursdays and Sundays, providing an opportunity to explore Northern Vietnam's lush landscapes.

The Hanoi – Melbourne route will launch a few days earlier, on June 3, 2024, with flights operating twice weekly on Mondays and Fridays from Hanoi, and returning from Melbourne to Hanoi on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

To celebrate these new routes, Vietjet is offering promotional fares starting from USD0 (*) until March 25, applicable to all Vietnam – Australia flights. Travel dates for promotional tickets are available from now until October 31, 2024 (**).

Additionally, passengers flying on the inaugural flights of the Hanoi-Sydney and Hanoi-Melbourne routes will receive up to 500 Skypoints. Further offers and benefits can be explored through the SkyJoy app or at https://skyjoy.vietjetair.com/, featuring partnerships with over 250 renowned culinary, shopping, and travel brands worldwide.

Vietjet's expansion into the Australian market within just one year reflects its commitment to providing convenient connections between Vietnam and Australia. With routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to major Australian cities, Vietjet facilitates seamless travel experiences for business, leisure, or exploration purposes.

In 2023, Vietjet significantly expanded its flight network with the addition of 33 new international and domestic routes, including five new routes connecting Australia to Vietnam.

With these long-haul journeys across continents, Vietjet continues to uphold its reputation for affordability and quality service. Passengers can look forward to flying on modern aircraft, enjoying diverse cuisines onboard, and experiencing Vietjet's commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.
