Vietjet has officially started direct flights between Clark and Ho Chi Minh City, marking the first nonstop air route connecting the two destinations and strengthening ties between the Philippines and Vietnam.
The new service operates three times a week — every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday — giving travelers from Central and Northern Luzon easier access to Vietnam’s top economic and commercial hub. It also expands Clark International Airport’s growing list of international connections.
Noel Manankil, president and chief executive of airport operator LIPAD Corp., welcomed the new route. “Vietjet’s arrival is an important addition to Clark International Airport’s growing roster of international airline partners. We remain committed to attracting more airlines and expanding our route network to serve the travel needs of Central and Northern Luzon,” he said.
Nguyen Thanh So, Vietjet’s chief executive, said the new flight line builds on the airline’s presence in the Philippines while opening up more travel choices between the two countries. “Vietjet is proud to further expand its network in the Philippines with the launch of direct flights to Clark, adding an important connection to this high-potential region and creating more travel opportunities for people in both countries. With every new connection, Vietjet hopes to bring Vietnam and the Philippines closer together while unlocking new opportunities for growth across Southeast Asia,” he added.
Beyond Ho Chi Minh City, passengers can also connect to other key destinations across Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific through Vietjet’s wider network, including Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Hue.
To celebrate the launch, Vietjet is offering special fares from November 10 to 12: one-way Economy tickets start at $75 including taxes and fees, while Deluxe seats come with a 25 percent discount.
