HCM CITY — Vietjet has started selling tickets on its newest international route connecting Phú Quốc Island in the southern province of Kiên Giang with Hong Kong.

This new direct service will connect the famous tourism island to one of the most significant destinations for finance, commerce and tourism in the Asia Pacific region. The flights are expected to offer more choices for travellers and help boost exchanges as well as accelerate investment, Vietjet has said.

The new route will operate four flights per week, starting from April 19.
