The airline will also launch its Saigon - Moscow service on the same date and with the same frequency, using a transit through Hanoi.

Vietjet's Nha Trang – Moscow route will begin on 10 July 2022 with two flights per week on Mondays and Fridays.

The average flight time for each route is around 10 hours per leg, with an additional two hours required for transit on the Saigon – Moscow flights.

All the services will operate to and from Moscow Sheremetyevo Airport (SVO) with Vietjet’s new Airbus A330-300 aircraft.

Dinh Viet Phuong, Vietjet Managing Director, said, “Vietjet is ready to relaunch international services. We have invested in a modern fleet, and we will expand our intercontinental flight network in the coming time. I believe that Vietjet’s new new services to Russia will again prove our commitment to offering top quality flight products and services.”
