Vietjet wet-leases four aircraft for busy Lunar New Year 2024
Vietjet has announced a strategic move to enhance its services for the upcoming Lunar New Year 2024 by bolstering its 100-plus fleet with four wet-leased aircraft.
This expansion aims to meet the soaring travel demands during this peak season and provide expanded flying options at affordable rates for passengers.
With the collaboration and support of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam and various regulatory bodies, Vietjet expedited the incorporation of these four aircraft into its fleet, gearing up for the impending surge in passenger traffic on domestic and international routes. Passengers flying with Vietjet during this period can expect enticing benefits, including all-in tickets from Australia to Vietnam starting from AU$165 on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays until 10 February 2024.
Additionally, passengers booking Business and SkyBoss tickets for all international flights can avail themselves of up to 20 per cent off from 9 January 2024 until midnight on 16 January 2024, via its website and the Vietjet Air mobile app. Promotion codes “SBBUIN” provide 20 per cent off direct flights between India and Vietnam, while “SBBUALL” offers 10 per cent off for Australian and international flights. Travel period is from 9 January 2024 to 30 June 2024.
Business tickets feature exclusive privileges, including up to 60kg of checked baggage, private cabins, flatbed seats, organic menu options, and priority services from ground to sky.
With a series of new international routes including Ho Chi Minh City – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide (Australia), Ho Chi Minh City – Shanghai (China), Ho Chi Minh City – Vientiane (Laos), and Hanoi – Siem Reap (Cambodia), Vietjet offers many flying opportunities during the Lunar New Year season, not only for family reunions but also for exciting travels throughout Vietnam and the world.
To ensure a smooth and enjoyable flying experience, Vietjet has also introduced convenient airport check-in kiosks and encourages passengers to complete online check-in procedures for a hassle-free airport experience.
