Vietjet is about to launch more than 10 domestic routes in the coming months, ready to welcome passengers during the peak summer season. Regarding international routes, Vietjet Thailand (a member of Vietjet) recently signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to implement marketing and promotional activities between the two sides, aiming to boost and attract tourists to Thailand, especially from Vietnam and Cambodia.

Vietjet currently operates the Ho Chi Minh City - Bangkok route with a frequency of up to 6 flights per week. In addition, Vietjet Thailand will also restore the Da Nang - Bangkok route from March 27th, open a new connection between Bangkok and Phnom Penh, Cambodia from March 16th, and continue to expand its flight network in the future.

Bamboo Airways

Bamboo Airways has launched ticket sales for a series of regular commercial direct flights connecting to Europe, including the Hanoi - Frankfurt (Germany) and Hanoi - London (UK) routes, scheduled to begin on March 22nd. The initial frequency will be two round-trip flights per week per route, gradually increasing according to market demand and regulations of the respective countries. Bamboo Airways also announced plans to expand its international network to 40 routes in 2022.

Establishing a regular direct flight to Frankfurt allows Bamboo Airways to access a gateway to connect with the European region, in addition to other markets such as the Czech Republic, the UK, France, etc., while also connecting Europe to countries in Asia and Southeast Asia, with Vietnam as a transit point.

In addition, Bamboo Airways is continuing to promote the expansion of its flight network to many economic centers of Germany such as the capital Berlin and the city of Munich in the near future.

Currently, in addition to international flights primarily to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has also received numerous requests to reopen routes from several European countries to provinces and cities in the Central region. It is expected that the number of international visitors to and from Vietnam will increase significantly in the coming period, aiming to gradually restore the situation to pre-Covid-19 levels.
