The airline's first international route from Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok was launched on February 10.

You just need a Visa or MasterCard to make an instant purchase. This promotional price is valid for flights from April 1 to May 10 and from September 5 until December 20, 2013.

"After launching 10 routes in little over a year, we felt it was the perfect time to celebrate with another spectacular promotion," said Desmond Lin, Business Development Director of VietjetAir. "We have sustained rapid growth since our first flight took off on December 31, 2011 – our extensive network now covers all of Vietnam's biggest tourism destinations and major economic hubs. Our inaugural international flight was obviously a huge milestone—not just for us, but for Vietnam's private aviation industry. And this is just the beginning. We will launch more international routes and expand the domestic network further during 2013."

VietjetAir is now the fastest growing airline in Vietnam as well as the country's largest low-cost carrier. Billed as the fun, friendly airline of choice, VietjetAir has won plenty of admirers with numerous promotions facilitated by its fast, easy online payment system. But Lin stresses that VietjetAir meets the highest possible standards of safety and prides itself on its five-star level of professionalism.

"We prepared for five years before putting the business into operation. We are proud to be a strongly financed and technology-savvy airline with a fleet of brand new Airbus aircraft, all staffed by our highly professional and friendly stewards and pilots. We are backed by some of the world's leading companied such as Airbus, CyberSource and Singapore International Airlines Engineering Company (SIAEC)," added Lin.
