Vietjet to Launch Flights From Western Sydney Airport
The airline plans two weekly return flights from January, rising to three in March, as demand for Australia-Asia travel grows.
- Western Sydney International Airport confirmed Vietjet will launch flights to Ho Chi Minh City on January 10, 2027, initially operating twice weekly before increasing to three times weekly by March.
- WSI CEO Simon Hickey said the route addresses strong demand from Western Sydney's Vietnamese community, home to over 70,000 residents, many traveling regularly to visit family.
- Tickets for the new route went on sale Monday, August 10, with one-way fares starting at AU$299; flights will utilize Vietjet's Airbus A330 aircraft, which seat 377 passengers.
- The New South Wales government supports the route through the Western Sydney International Take-Off Fund, marking Vietjet's fifth Australian destination alongside carriers like Air New Zealand.
- Vietjet CEO Nguyen Thanh Son said the move aligns with the airline's strategy to deepen ties between Australia and Vietnam, with plans to launch four weekly services to Bangkok in November 2027.
