VietJet to Add Osaka Route

Vietjet will launch direct flights between Hanoi and Osaka, from November 2018, offering business travellers affordable access between two important commercial hubs in Asia.

Using the airline’s Airbus A320 aircraft, the new Vietjet Osaka – Hanoi route will operate on a daily basis with a flight time of just over four hours. The flight is currently scheduled to depart from Hanoi each day at 01:45 and arrive in Osaka at around 07:50. The return flight is scheduled to take off from Osaka at 09:20 and land in Hanoi at around 13:10.

“The Hanoi-Osaka route will be the first service for Vietjet’s expansion into Japan – the Land of the Rising Sun,” says Vietjet’s vice president Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh. “We believe that this new connection and our expanding network will help make the travel dreams of millions of passengers come true. As part of our expansion strategy in Japan, we will continue to open new routes connecting Vietnam and Japan’s economic and tourism hubs in order to diversify destination choices and meet the growing demand for air travel between the two countries and beyond to better connect with the rest of the world.”

Vietjet’s new service to Osaka will bring the airline’s total number of international routes to 45 while also servicing 38 domestic routes. Ticket sales for the new route is expected to be available from 8 June 2018.
