Thai Vietjet has announced the resumption of its international service linking Thailand’s capital city of Bangkok with the central beach city of Danang in Vietnam, starting on 27 March.

In the early stage, the service between Bangkok (via Suvarnabhumi International Airport) and Danang will be operated with three flights a week – on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday – with a flight time of around an hour and 40 minutes per leg. Further frequency can be added later subject to market demand.

Thai Vietjet chairwoman Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh said: “We commit to contribute to the recovery of international travel in the soonest time. The service connecting Bangkok with Danang is our next tourism bridge between Thailand and Vietnam after the current Bangkok-Ho Chi Minh City route. We will continuously expand our flight network to provide more new safe services to more than 170 million people of the two countries in the near future.”

Vietjet provides the largest flight capacity between Vietnam and Thailand with the current Bangkok-Ho Chi Minh City route operated up to six flights a week.

In addition, Thai Vietjet will launch a new service connecting Bangkok and the Cambodian capital city of Phnom Penh in March, with more destinations to be added to its flight map in coming time.

In the next phase, Vietjet will reopen all its international flights and look to open new routes to India and Australia to meet demand from passengers in the Asia-pacific region.
