Hanoi (VNA) – The Vietjet flight number VJ971 officially took off from Hanoi to New Delhi
(India) after a hiatus of more than two years.
Welcoming the first
passengers back on the route to India, the leaders of the Civil Aviation Administration and
Vietjet were early present at the airport on April 30 to give flowers and extended the best
wishes before the flight.
Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet Managing Director shared: “A
series of direct routes to India – a country of 1.4 billion people shortly
after the pandemic and other international routes to Thailand, Singapore,
Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Japan, Indonesia, etc are Vietjet’s efforts and commitments
to bring flying opportunities for everyone, becoming a bridge for cultural,
economic and social exchange activities between countries, leading the wave of
strong recovery after the pandemic”.
Immediately after the pandemic,
Vietjet pioneered in
operating flights to the Indian capital as well as those to Bodh Gaya holy
place.
Previously on April 29, the route from
Ho Chi Minh City to New Delhi was also re-opened, bringing joy to many
passengers when it has become easier to travel, work, and visit relatives
between the two countries on regular direct flights. Two direct routes
connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi with New Delhi are ready to welcome
passengers with three round-trips per week and steadily increase to a round-trip per day from June.
After New Delhi, Vietjet is also
preparing to fly from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Mumbai this summer and
operate routes from Phu Quoc
to New Delhi and Mumbai from September 2022.
With just about 5 hours, the routes connecting Vietnam with India not only contribute to opening up
more tourism opportunities and promote the economy between the two countries
but also create convenient chances for passengers to get a flight from India to
other countries within Asia Pacific region including Thailand, Singapore,
Malaysia,…
