Vietjet is expanding its upcoming services to Perth and adding a new route to Adelaide.

Starting 21 November, the Vietnamese low-cost carrier will fly direct from Ho Chi Minh City to Perth five times per week – up from its previously-announced two services per week – as well as from Ho Chi Minh City to Adelaide via Perth five times per week.

Flights from Ho Chi Minh City to both destinations will operate on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday, returning to Ho Chi Minh City every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

“The introduction of Adelaide and Perth routes further solidifies Vietjet’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the Australian market,” the airline said.

“Following the successful commencement of direct flights to Melbourne and Sydney in April 2023 and the extension to Brisbane in June, Vietjet now offers a comprehensive network of flights connecting Australia to some of the most exciting destinations in Asia.”

The launch of the Adelaide route alongside Perth will see Vietjet fly into all five mainland states, with the airline already serving Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

No other direct services currently link WA to Vietnam, though several airlines, including Vietjet, Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar and Bamboo Airways, fly from the east coast to Ho Chi Minh City and/or Hanoi.

Vietjet wrapped up its rollout on Australia’s eastern seaboard in June with its first flight to Brisbane.
