Vietjet has opened bookings for its new direct Colombo–Ho Chi Minh City route, with flights set to begin on 18 August 2026. The service will become the first scheduled direct air link between Sri Lanka and Vietnam, creating new opportunities for tourism, business, and cultural exchange.
To mark the launch, Vietjet is offering one-way Eco fares from USD 90 (including taxes and fees). Passengers booking Deluxe and SkyBoss fares can also receive a 20% discount on base fares.
Tickets are available through Vietjet’s official website, mobile app, ticket offices, and authorised travel agents.
The new route will operate three times a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, connecting Colombo and Ho Chi Minh City with a flight time of around five hours.
The service will provide Sri Lankan travellers with easier access to Vietnam’s largest city and a gateway to wider Asia-Pacific destinations through Vietjet’s expanding network.
Ho Chi Minh City offers a mix of history, modern attractions, food, and culture, with highlights including the Cu Chi Tunnels, Independence Palace, busy city streets, and famous Vietnamese cuisine.
The new connection will also make it easier for Vietnamese travellers to explore Sri Lanka’s beaches, cultural landmarks, tea regions, and wildlife destinations.
Passengers flying with Vietjet can enjoy onboard meals, including popular Vietnamese dishes, while loyalty members through the Vietjet SkyJoy programme can earn and redeem points across travel, dining, shopping, and lifestyle partners.
Vietjet, one of Vietnam’s leading airlines, continues to expand its international network with a modern fleet and growing services across the Asia-Pacific region.
