The new route will start serving passengers from July 19, 2023 with two round-trip flights per week on Wednesdays and Sundays. Vietjet currently operates direct flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka and many more flights to Niigata, Shizuoka, and Fukushima.

Vietjet's new flight opens more opportunities for cooperation in investment, trade, tourism, cultural exchange, and people-to-people exchange between Vietnam and Japan in general and Hiroshima prefecture in particular. The event is especially meaningful on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.
