With seven round trips per week, the Hanoi - Kuala Lumpur new route will serve passengers from November 28, 2024. This is Vietjet's second route connecting Vietnam and Malaysia, after the Ho Chi Minh City - Kuala Lumpur route opened in 2016. With this new route, Vietjet will double the number of flights between Vietnam and Malaysia to 14 round trips per week, meeting the growing travel demand between the two countries.
The capital cities of Malaysia and Vietnam are two destinations rich in cultural and historical identity.
