Vietjet’s New Flight Path
There’s something exhilarating about the very first time. The first words, the first steps, and now, the first flight path! Vietjet is proudly flying the flag high with its new route that bridges Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and Perth.
The First of its Kind
Linking HCMC and Perth
This is not just any regular route. It’s the first-ever direct connection between HCMC, the dynamic heart of Vietnam, and Perth, the sun-kissed capital of Western Australia. Just think about the blend of cultures, cuisines, and experiences this will bring together!

The Aussie Connection

Australia and Vietnam share more than just the vast ocean waters; there’s a strong tourism bond. The HCMC Department of Tourism notes that Australia is in the top 10 countries sending tourists to Vietnam. With more than 130,000 Australians visiting HCMC last year alone, they made up a considerable 3.5% of the total tourist count. Now, isn’t that something?
