With the launch of the Hanoi – Osaka route, Vietjet increases its total number of international routes to 45, in addition to its 38 domestic routes.
Ms. Nguyen Thi ThuyJar,Vietjet's Deputy General Manager,Vietjet stated: “We are very excited to prepare for the launch of this new route. The flight from Hanoi to Osaka is the first in Vietjet's new network to the Land of the Rising Sun. We believe that this new network will help millions of travel dreams come true. Japan is not only famous for cherry blossoms and Mount Fuji, but also for its unique culture, diverse cuisine, friendly and hospitable people, and advanced science and technology. In the future, Vietjet will continue to open more routes from Vietnam to other major cities in Japan to diversify destinations, meet the travel needs between the two countries, and better connect with the international market.”
