11 October, 2023

South Australian Tourism Commission welcomed (10-Oct-2023) VietJet Air plans to launch five times weekly Ho Chi Minh City-Perth-Adelaide service on 21-Nov-2023, stating it is the "first time any Vietnamese airline has included Adelaide as a regular destination". Vietnam is South Australia's 11th largest export destination, with exports having increased by over 30% in the last 12 months. Adelaide Airport MD Brenton Cox added: "If the service attracts strong passenger numbers, we'll be keen to have further discussions with VietJet with a view to turning this into a nonstop service between the two cities".
