Vietjet launches Hanoi-Kuala Lumpur route

Vietnam’s largest private carrier, Vietjet, has announced a new direct service connecting Hanoi and Kuala Lumpur, which is expected to foster economic, cultural and tourism ties between Vietnam and Malaysia as well as across South-East Asia. The Hanoi-Kuala Lumpur route, to start on Nov 28, 2024, will operate seven round trips weekly. “The launch of this new route comes as Vietnam and Malaysia elevate their bilateral relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership, creating new opportunities for collaboration and development. Connecting the two capitals, the route will enhance regional aviation connectivity and add further value to economic and cultural cooperation,” it said in a statement issued to Bernama. This is the airline’s second service linking Vietnam and Malaysia, following the Ho Chi Minh City-Kuala Lumpur route introduced in 2016.<br/>
