Vietjet Adds Second Japan Osaka Route

Vietjet Air has launched its first flight connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Osaka. The new service from the international low cost carrier follows the launch of its Hanoi – Osaka route in early November.

The airline’s new Ho Chi Minh City – Osaka route operates on a daily basis with a journey time of just over five hours each way. The flight departs from Ho Chi Minh City at 1:40 am and arrives at Kansai International Airport at 8:30 am. The return service departs Kansai Airport at 9:30 am and lands back in Ho Chi Minh City at 1:30 pm.

“We are honoured that Kansai Airport has been chosen as Vietjet’s leading destination in Japan after the opening of the Hanoi-Osaka route,” says Gregory Jamet, chief commercial officer at Kansai Airports. “Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam’s largest city as well as the most modern and vibrant financial and tourism hub. We hope more locals and tourists from Japan and Vietnam will enjoy travelling and trading between these two countries thanks to Vietjet’s fun and affordable flights. We expect that the airline will continue to expand its flight network to Kansai Airport, delivering even more convenience and exciting experiences to their customers.”

Vietjet, named “Best Ultra Low-Cost Airline” this year, will also launch another flight between Hanoi and Tokyo from the 11th of January 2019.
