Vietjet announces inaugural air service connecting Vietnam and New Zealand

Hanoi, February 26, 2025 – Vietjet Air today announced its inaugural air service between Vietnam and New Zealand, connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Auckland – the two countries’ key economic, tourism, and cultural hubs. The event was attended by Vietnam’s Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, along with senior officials and business leaders from both nations.

Đường bay mới đánh dấu cột mốc quan trọng trong quan hệ của hai nước, trong bối cảnh hai bên chuẩn bị kỷ niệm 50 năm thiết lập quan hệ ngoại giao và chính thức nâng cấp lên quan hệ đối tác chiến lược toàn diện. Dự kiến, đường bay TP.HCM-Auckland sẽ khai trương vào tháng 09/2025 với tần suất từ 4 chuyến khứ hồi mỗi tuần, sử dụng đội tàu bay hiện đại, góp phần thúc đẩy giao thương, du lịch và giao lưu văn hóa giữa hai quốc gia.

New Zealand’s Prime Minister Christopher Luxon remarked at the event: “I'm very pleased with Vietjet's announcement that they will develop a new route to New Zealand, strengthening the connectivity and the people-to-people links between our two countries, which is a critical enabler of more growth and brings our people closer together. This enables lots of opportunities across the board, not just in tourism but also in trade and also in education.”

Celebrating 50 years of diplomatic relations, Vietjet brings Vietnam closer to New Zealand than ever before. The service provides a cost-effective flight option for travellers and residents, reducing travel time between Ho Chi Minh City and Auckland, with a variety of seat classes to suit different preferences, including Business, SkyBoss, Deluxe, and Eco. Passengers will also have the chance to enjoy a selection of culinary delights, featuring both Vietnamese and international flavours, all served by Vietjet’s professional and dedicated cabin crew.

Auckland is one of the most liveable and beloved cities in New Zealand, known for its peaceful environment, fresh air, vibrant lifestyle, and stunning coastal landscapes. From there, travellers can easily explore New Zealand’s breathtaking scenery, including world-famous filming locations. On the other hand, Ho Chi Minh City serves as Vietnam’s leading economic, cultural and tourism center, renowned for its dynamic atmosphere, modern vibrancy, and thriving culinary scene.

The Ho Chi Minh City-Auckland route will not only boost investment, tourism, education, and cultural exchanges but also create new opportunities for collaboration between Vietnam and New Zealand. Vietjet’s new route is a key part of the airline’s broader strategy to expand its flight network across Vietnam, as well as major destinations in Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, South Korea, India, Kazakhstan, and beyond.
