The airline’s highly successful connection linking Ho Chi Minh City with Hanoi was joined in the Top 5 by new routes from SpiceJet (India), EasyJet (England), Southwest (America) and AirAsia X (Malaysia).

Pritam Singh, Deputy General Director of VietjetAir said: “This acclaim caps what has been a stellar debut year for VietJetAir. Our Hanoi- Ho Cho Minh City route has proven to be a winner with Vietnamese and foreign travelers and now we have been honored alongside our peers by the travel industry.”

All VietjetAir flights are also staffed with friendly and enthusiastic flight attendants and feature maximum safety measures and impressive service quality at a low cost. This incredible acknowledgment at the Budgie$ & Travel Awards is a great acknowledgement of our outstanding products and services.”
