National Assembly (NA) Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang and two senior leaders of the countries attended the event. |
In his speech at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang congratulated Vietjet on its 10-year journey of connecting and expanding the Vietnam-China flight network and the new Ho Chi Minh City-Xi'an route.
He believes that the carrier will launch more flights between the two countries, helping promote bilateral trade, mutual understanding and support, and deepening the Vietnam-China comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
Since the first flight in 2014, Vietjet has so far carried more than 12 million passengers on all routes connecting Vietnam's political, economic, cultural and tourist centers and nearly 50 popular destinations throughout China, contributing to deepening and enhancing the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.
At the event, Vietjet also announced the opening of direct flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Xi’an from this summer, with just over 4 hours for each route and 4 round-trip flights per week.
Flights connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Xi’an not only meet the travel and cultural exchange needs of people and tourists, and expand trade between Ho Chi Minh City and the Northwest region, China, but show Vietjet's continuous development in the Chinese market./.
