Jetstar to launch flights from Australia to Vietnam
Jetstar Thursday said it would launch flights from Sydney and Melbourne to Ho Chi Minh City, linking to Vietnamese domestic partner Jetstar Pacific. Jetstar Pacific, a 70/30 joint venture between Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar parent Qantas Airways, is growing rapidly in an attempt to fend off a competitive threat from domestic budget rival VietJet. "The growing middle class in Vietnam has made it one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world," Jetstar Group CE Jayne Hrdlicka said. She said the new flights from Australia to Vietnam, which begin in May, would link up to 15 Jetstar Pacific domestic destinations from Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam Airlines and Qantas last year said they would invest US$139m to more than double the size of Jetstar Pacific's fleet to 30 aircraft by 2020. <br/>
