HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s budget airline VietJet Aviation will launch 13 new routes between the Southeast Asian country and India later this year, the company said on Monday, noting it also planned to add more Airbus A330 planes.
The new routes to be launched from early September to early December will link Vietnam’s major cities and its tourism island of Phu Quoc with Ahmedabad, Hyderabad, Bangalore, New Delhi and Mumbai, VietJet said in a statement.
“We now prioritize expanding and increasing flight operations to India…to serve the rise in demand for both leisure and business travel,” VietJet Vice President Nguyen Thanh Son said.
