VietJet to Launch Daily Flights to Ho Chi Minh from KIX

Kansai Airports is delighted to announce that VietJet Air, Vietnam's first and largest low-cost carrier, will operate daily flights between Kansai International Airport (KIX) and Ho Chi Minh, beginning December 14, 2018, making Ho Chi Minh the second Vietnamese destination from KIX after Hanoi.

Based in Hanoi, VietJet has been rapidly expanding its flight network both domestically and internationally. With a fleet of 60 aircraft, the carrier operates 385 flights each day.
