First flight from Vietnam jets into Perth with Vietjet

21 November, 2023
A direct connection between Vietnam and Western Australia has been established with the new Vietjet service landing at Perth Airport today.

Perth Airport Chief Operating Officer Scott Woodward said that Vietnam has been a key target market for Western Australia for many years and following the pandemic and opening of borders Perth Airport and the State Government made it a priority to speak to airlines that could operate direct services to Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietjet provides affordable air travel with a strong focus on customer service, and we are delighted to welcome Vietjet to Perth Airport and we look forward to building on the relationship to deliver a great new holiday destination in Vietnam for Western Australian

 

“It is a great sign for Western Australia to see airlines show keen interest in delivering new air services to Perth Airport and opening up non-stop access to new international destinations,” said Mr Woodward.

 

The new route will operate the service to Perth every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday on a long-range, narrow-body A321neo aircraft with 230 seats.
