The new route will meet increasing demand for travel between the two countries and boost regional trade and integration.
The HCM City-Jakarta route, a three-hour journey, will operate daily starting on December 20.
It will depart from HCMC at 8.40pm and arrive in Jakarta at 11.40 local time. The return flight is 1.40pm local time, reaching HCMC at 4.40.
“Since its inception, Vietjet has been developing friendly and professional flight services in operating key international routes, helping connect Vietnam’s main business and tourism hubs with foreign destinations, including Jakarta,” Vietjet vice president Dinh Viet Phuong said.
“With its mission of making air travel approachable and possible for everyone and building a future in the air, Vietjet’s new route from HCMC to Jakarta will boost ties between these two economic, cultural and financial hubs, thus help boost regional trading and integration.”
