HÀ NỘI — Vietjet has announced the flight route connecting the capital Ulaanbaatar of Mongolia with the coastal city Nha Trang of Việt Nam.

The announcement was made during the Việt Nam-Mongolia Business Forum, on the eve of the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two nations on Thursday, with the participation of Mongolian President Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh, Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Trần Lưu Quang.

The Ulaanbaatar-Nha Trang route will be operated from December 15, 2023, with the frequency of two round-trip flights per week and around five hours and a half per leg, Vietjet said.
