Malaysia travellers gain new gateways to Europe and Central Asia via Vietjet

Malaysian travelers now have additional gateways to explore Europe and Central Asia, thanks to Vietjet's expansion of its international network. The airline has introduced new routes connecting Hanoi, Vietnam, to Almaty, Kazakhstan, and Prague, Czech Republic. These new services signify Vietjet's broader push into the European Union, enhancing air connectivity between Asia and Europe for Malaysian passengers.

Flights between Kuala Lumpur and Hanoi will operate as usual, but travelers can now connect through Hanoi on Tuesdays and Saturdays, thanks to Vietjet's new direct flights from Kuala Lumpur.

The new routes utilize Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft and offer Business and SkyBoss services, providing passengers with enhanced onboard hospitality and dining options. Vietjet's CEO, Nguyen Thanh Son, emphasized the significance of these new routes, stating they mark a pivotal moment in the airline's international expansion. Vietjet is set to continue broadening its services to Europe, making travel between Europe, Australia, and Asia more convenient.

Prague, renowned for its historic architecture and cultural heritage, and Almaty, Kazakhstan's largest city, celebrated for its natural landscapes and as a gateway to Central Asia, are the two new destinations. Currently, Vietjet provides direct flights from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang.
