HA NOI (Biz Hub) – Vietjet on May 12 launched three new routes from Hai Phong to Phu Quoc, Da Lat and Buon Me Thuot in celebration of the opening of Cat Bi International Airport's new terminal.

On the occasion, Vietjet presented 200 health insurance cards to the poor in Hai Phong City.

The Hai Phong–Phu Quoc route, which is in operation from today onwards, and the route connecting Hải Phong and Buon Me Thuot, starting from June 2, will both provide four round-trip flights per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Three round-trip flights per week (Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) will be available on the Hai Phong–Da Lat route from May 20.
