Vietjet announces new international route from Ho Chi Minh City to Jakarta

(Jakarta, August 22, 2017) – Today in Jakarta (Indonesia), Vietjet announced its plan to open a new international route connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Indonesian capital Jakarta. The announcement ceremony was witnessed by high-ranking dignitaries from Vietnam and Indonesia during the official visit of His Excellency Mr. Nguyen Phu Trong, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam to Indonesia. The new route will meet increasing demand for travel between the two countries and boost regional trading and integration.

The Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC)-Jakarta route, a three-hour journey, will operate daily from December 20, 2017. The HCMC-Jakarta flight departs from HCMC at 20:40 and arrives in Jakarta at 23:40 (local time). The return flight takes off at 01:40 (local time) and lands in HCMC at 04:40.

Mr. Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet’s Vice President, said: “Since its inception, Vietjet has been developing friendly and professional flight services in operating key international routes, helping connect Vietnam’s main business and tourism hubs with foreign destinations, including Jakarta. With its mission of making air travel approachable and possible for everyone and building a future in the air, Vietjet’s new route from HCMC to Jakarta will boost ties between these two economic, cultural, financial hubs, thus help boost regional trading and integration.”

Jakarta, Indonesian capital, is famous for its own distinctive multicultural style, amazing cuisine and colorful tourism. It will also serve as a gateway to a country, which offers the world “Consistency in Diversity”. The Indonesian archipelago boasts Unesco-listed world heritages such as Borobudur and Prambanan, Komodo national park, Ujung Kulon National Park and Sumatra rainforest and, of course, breathtaking ‘paradise’ islands, such as Bali, one of the world's most incredible beach destinations.

In turn, Ho Chi Minh City will open visitors from Indonesia to travel in Vietnam, which also boasts Unesco-listed world heritages and incredible beaches.
