Vietjet announces direct route between HCM City, China’s Xi'an

Vietnam’s new-age carrier Vietjet celebrated the 10th anniversary of its first flight to China (2014-2024) and announced a direct route between HCM City and China’s Xi'an at a policy and law forum held in Shanghai city on Wednesday. National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dình Hue, who is paying an official visit to China, and other leaders of the two countries attended the event. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang congratulated Vietjet on its operational achievements, and noted his belief that the carrier will launch more flights between the two countries, thus helping promote the bilateral trade and mutual understanding and support, and deepen the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. After two routes to Shanghai and Chengdu, Vietjet will open a direct route between HCM City and Xi'an from April 29, becoming the airline flying directly from Vietnam to the ancient capital of Xi'an. With four return flights per week, the new route will help shorten the distance and travel time between the two destinations.<br/>
