Vietnamese airlines, including Vietnam Airlines, Vietjet, and Bamboo Airways, are set to broaden their international flight networks by launching new routes in response to rising travel demand as the year progresses toward the final months.

Among these initiatives, budget airline Vietjet has introduced a new route connecting Daegu City in South Korea to Nha Trang, a stunning coastal city in Khanh Hoa Province, south-central Vietnam.

This expansion not only enhances connectivity but also opens the door to attracting more South Korean tourists, a vital market for Vietnam’s tourism industry.

With seven return flights per week, the new route offers convenient travel options to passengers from both countries and lure international travelers to Vietnam’s key tourist destinations, such as Nha Trang and Cam Ranh in the south-central region.

In January-September, Vietnam welcomed 12.7 million international visitors, with 3.3 million from South Korea, making this market Vietnam’s largest source of international tourists. 

Vietjet will inaugurate new air routes from Da Nang City in central Vietnam to Da Lat City in the Central Highlands as well as to Phu Quoc Island off the coast of southern Kien Giang Province on November 7.

A route linking Can Tho City in southern Vietnam to Da Lat will also be launched on the same day.

National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines on Sunday last week opened a direct route connecting Hanoi with Phnom Penh in Cambodia.

With four flights per week, the air route would help enhance the connectivity between the two countries.

Meanwhile, Bamboo Airways has announced its plan to reopen an air route connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Bangkok from November 26, one year after the suspension of the route for restructuring.

Bamboo Airways CEO Luong Hoai Nam stated that this new route marks a significant step in the airline's recovery.

Previously, Bamboo Airways boasted an extensive flight network across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Europe, and Australia.

However, financial difficulties and rising fuel costs forced the airline to scale back its operations.

To support the expected increase in flights for the remainder of the year, Bamboo Airways plans to add two new aircraft to its fleet.
