VietJet Expands China Routes to Strengthen Economic Ties
VietJet is expanding its operations in China by adding five new routes, aiming to enhance economic and aviation connections between Vietnam and China. The new routes will link Hanoi with Hangzhou, Enshi, and Huangshan, and Ho Chi Minh City with Huangshan and Guilin. Two of these routes, Hanoi-Enshi and Ho Chi Minh City-Guilin, have already commenced operations in early April. Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, chairwoman of VietJet, highlighted that collaborations with Chinese partners are creating new development opportunities for businesses and the broader economic ecosystems of both countries. Over the past decade, VietJet has transported approximately 14.5 million passengers between Vietnam and China, establishing itself as the sixth-largest carrier in the market with a 7.7% capacity share of scheduled seats.
