The new route is hoped to help boost tourism, trade and integration between the two countries.
The opening ceremony took place at Kansai Airport in the special traditional “Kagami Biraki” of Japan. All passengers onboard both inaugural flights received charming gifts such as brocade bags, special pens and caps from Vietjet Air representatives.
Using Vietjet’s modern new A321neo aircraft, the Hanoi-Osaka route operates a daily return flight with a time of just over four hours per leg. The flight departs from Hanoi at 1:40 am and arrives in Osaka at 7:50 am (local time). In the other direction, the flight takes off in Osaka at 9:20 am (local time) and lands in Hanoi at around 1:05 pm.
