Vietjet has announced the launch of its direct route between Ho Chi Minh City and Xi'an, China, starting from April 29, 2024. This new addition, following routes to Shanghai and Chengdu, positions Vietjet as the first airline to offer direct flights from Vietnam to Xi'an, the ancient capital known for its deep historical significance and cultural heritage.

The route will operate four return flights per week, facilitating travel between the two cities like never before. Departures from Ho Chi Minh City are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 20:05, arriving in Xi'an Xianyang International Airport at 01:30 the following day. The return journey from Xi'an to Ho Chi Minh City will take off on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 02:30, landing at 06:25. This schedule aims to optimize travel time for both business and leisure travelers, offering a convenient gateway to the wonders of Xi'an and beyond.

Xi'an, as the starting point of the Silk Road, boasts a rich tapestry of history and culture, making it a treasure trove for explorers and historians alike. Home to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor and the legendary Terracotta Army, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, and Datang Furong Park, it offers an unparalleled glimpse into China's glorious past. This new route not only shortens the distance between Vietnam and China but also opens up new avenues for cultural, trade, and tourism exchanges.

In celebration of the route's inauguration, Vietjet is offering passengers the chance to book tickets under the VND0 promotional program, available every Friday. This promotion, valid for travel until December 31, 2024, extends to Vietjet's entire international flight network, making it an attractive offer for those planning to explore Xi'an and other destinations within Vietjet's expansive route map.

Travelers can look forward to experiencing Vietjet's modern and eco-friendly aircraft, professional service, and a range of onboard amenities designed to enhance the flight experience. From authentic Vietnamese cuisine to cultural performances at 10,000 meters, Vietjet promises a journey that's not just about reaching the destination, but about the memorable experiences along the way.

As the world becomes more connected, Vietjet's new route from Ho Chi Minh City to Xi'an symbolizes not just a bridge between two cities, but a portal to historical discovery and cultural enrichment. This development is expected to bolster tourism and deepen the ties between Vietnam and China, offering travelers an opportunity to explore the rich heritage and modern marvels of both nations.
