After its two routes to Shanghai and Chengdu, Vietjet will open a direct route between HCM City and Xi'an (China) from April 29, becoming the first airline flying directly from Việt Nam to the ancient capital of Xi'an.

With four return flights per week, the new route will help shorten the travel time between the two destinations.

The flights from HCM City to Xi'an will depart every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday at 20:05 (local time), and land in Xi'an Xianyang International Airport at 01:30 the following day (local time). The return flights from Xi'an to HCM City depart every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 02:30 (local time), and land in HCM City at 06:25 (local time).

Xi'an, the capital of Shaanxi province, served as the national capital for thirteen dynasties in China. It is renowned as the birthplace of the splendid Chinese civilisation. Xi'an is the starting point of the legendary Silk Road, connecting Asia and Europe in trade and culture. The ancient city is famous for its rich history, and is home to cultural treasures such as The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, and Datang Furong Park.

Welcoming the new route, passengers can easily book tickets with the zero đồng promotional programme every Friday with convenient travel time until December 31, 2024, applicable to the entire international flight network on the website www.vietjetair.com and Vietjet Air mobile app. — VNS
