Vietjet adds Cebu and Clark flights from Vietnam
The three new routes will each run three round trips weekly, alongside the carrier’s existing Ho Chi Minh City–Manila service.
Vietjet has introduced services to Cebu from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, as well as a Ho Chi Minh City–Clark connection. Each of the three routes will offer three weekly return flights, according to the airline.
The carrier already serves Manila from Ho Chi Minh City. It said it is currently the sole airline flying directly on the Ho Chi Minh City–Clark route, which will give passengers access to central and northern Luzon.
Athanasios Titonis, chief executive of Mactan-Cebu International Airport operator Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation, said the Cebu services would increase travel choices for local residents visiting Vietnam. He said they would also support the airport’s goal of becoming a major regional transfer hub.
Noel Manankil, president and chief executive of Clark airport operator LIPAD Corporation, said the carrier’s arrival would strengthen its international airline network. Vietjet chief executive Nguyen Thanh Son said the additions reflected its growing presence in the Philippines and would help tourism, trade and cultural exchanges.
