Vietjet Vice President Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh said, “Since Vietjet’s first flight to Australia in April 2023, we have continuously expanded our network connecting the five largest cities in Australia including Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide with Ho Chi Minh City. The launching of Melbourne – Hanoi route today and Sydney – Hanoi on June 8, 2024 further prove our commitment to development by continuing to expand our network and providing quality services between Australia and Vietnam, meeting the demand of locals and tourists.”

 

Melbourne International Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos gave a speech to welcome Vietjet’s new route to Melbourne

 

Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos said the Vietnamese market growth had been one of the silver linings coming out of the pandemic. “The increased capacity in the market delivers benefits to passengers in the form of cheaper fares, but also provides exporters with access to high value markets. VietJet’s Hanoi service will complement its current five times a week service to Ho Chi Minh City and will give Victorians new connections into other Asian destinations with the airline’s flight network… Vietnam is in our top ten outbound destinations…” he added.
