Vietjet begins direct flights connecting Delhi to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi
Vietjet, the Vietnamese low-cost carrier that hogged limelight in 2011 with an ad featuring the crew in bikinis, has begun two direct flights to New Delhi from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.
With these two flights, Vietjet becomes the first airline from that country to connect the two biggest tourist centers of the Southeast Asian nation with New Delhi, the airline said in a statement on Monday.
The Hanoi-headquartered airline had announced these flights in August and had been planning to connect India first in 2017 and then in 2018.
The airline operated the first of the four-days a week flight to New Delhi from Ho Chi Minh City on December 6. The airline will connect these cities on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
