LCC Vietjet will commence new daily services linking Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City from June 1. It will be using its three-year-old fleet of 180-seater A320 aircraft to ply the route.
Halal food will be served alongside non-halal offerings on the route, according to Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh, Vietjet’s vice president, to better accommodate Muslim travellers.
While it is the norm for budget carriers to use klia2, Vietjet is flying into the main terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, said Nguyen, as “it offers better convenience to our customers.“
The airline has also engaged Reliance Travel as its general sales agent in Malaysia.
To celebrate the new route, Vietjet is giving away 50,000 promotional tickets at no cost during the ongoing campaign period which ends on April 18 for air tickets purchased between 1pm and 3pm daily for travel from June 1 to October 30, excluding public holidays.
Vietjet is also slated to launch on June 22 flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Tainan City every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
