VietNamNet Bridge – Low-cost carrier VietJet on October 1 celebrated its burgeoning relationship with South Korea in a ceremony marked by the attendance of Vietnamese and Korean officials in Seoul.

The ceremony was attended by Party Secretary General Nguyen Phu Trong, who was paying an official visit to the RoK, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Xuan Hai, Head of the ASEAN-RoK Development Planning and General Affairs Centre Hae Moon Chung, and many other high-ranking officials from both countries.

To facilitate our expanding network, VietJet will soon welcome more new aircrafts as part of our order for 100 aircraft made with Airbus at the Singapore Airshow earlier this year.”
