Vietnamese carrier Vietjet on Thursday announced it will connect Bengaluru with Hanoi, Da Nang, and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).

The new routes are expected to be operational within the last quarter of this year, Vietjet said, adding that there are also plans to open new direct services to other major Indian cities by the year-end.
