Vietjet is set to make Brisbane its first Australian long haul destination following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the airline and Brisbane Airport Corporation (BAC), Queensland, Australia.
Scheduled to commence in 2019, the non-stop service between Ho Chi Minh City and Brisbane is expected to boost trade integration and exchange.
Vietjet also signed a MoU worth US$609 million with Investec Bank to finance the purchase of five Airbus A321 aircraft at manufacturers’ list price.
Vietjet Vice President Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh said, “Vietjet has been well prepared with comfortable, high-quality and friendly services to expand its international flight network to top destinations, connecting Vietnam’s economic and tourism hubs with Asia Pacific countries, including Australia – a popular tourist and business hotspot.”
