Vietjet launches three new air routes connecting Vietnam and Philippines
VOV.VN - Vietjet launched three new international routes on November 10 connecting Vietnam with the Philippines, including Ho Chi Minh City-Cebu, Hanoi-Cebu, and Ho Chi Minh City-Clark.
Operating three round-trip flights weekly per route, the new services strengthen travel, trade, and cultural exchanges between the two countries. The inaugural flights were celebrated at Mactan-Cebu International Airport and Clark International Airport with traditional water cannon salutes and welcomes from local authorities and partners.
With the new additions complementing its existing Ho Chi Minh City-Manila service, Vietjet expands its reach to key economic and tourism hubs in the Philippines. Passengers gain direct access to Cebu’s island and diving attractions, as well as Clark, a growing economic center north of Manila serving Central and North Luzon. Vietjet is currently the sole airline operating direct flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Clark.
In reverse, the routes offer Philippine travelers convenient entry to Vietnam’s cultural destinations and major cities, while connecting them through Vietjet’s network to international routes across Australia, the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and China.
Executives from Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu, LIPAD Corporation, and Vietjet emphasized that the expanded connectivity will boost two-way tourism and bilateral cooperation. To mark the launch, Vietjet is running a promotional campaign from November 10 to 12, 2026, offering Eco tickets starting from VND0 (excluding taxes and fees) and a 25% discount on Deluxe fares.
