VietNamNet Bridge – After three years of operation, Vietjet welcomed its ten millionth passenger at Vinh Airport in Nghe An province on Saturday, the same day the airport unveiled its upgraded terminal.

The lucky passenger was Ms. Kang Jeong Hee, a Korean businesswoman who flew on flight VJ270 from Ho Chi Minh City to Vinh City. She will enjoy complimentary flights with Vietjet for an entire year.

The lucky passenger was congratulated by officials of VietJet, the Ministry of Transport, the Airports Corporation of Vietnam, and Nghe An province.

To celebrate this landmark, VietJet is running a daily promotion on all domestic and international routes.

VieJet has also opened sales on two new routes: Hanoi – Quy Nhon and Ho Chi Minh City – Dong Hoi in January 2015. Customers have access to incredible fares for these routes with online bookings.

“I feel so lucky to be Vietjet’s ten millionth passenger,” said Ms. Kang Jeong Hee. “I chose to fly with this airline as I read about the airline’s new and modern aircraft, reasonable prices, and flexible flight schedules. As Vietjet is now expanding its flight network across Vietnam and the region, especially to major destinations in South Korea, I will book all my business and tourism flights with Vietjet. I look forward to the airline further developing so it can offer even more incredible flying opportunities to everyone.”

The lucky passenger was congratulated by officials of VietJet, the Ministry of Transport, the Airports Corporation of Vietnam, and Nghe An province.

Speaking at the event, Vietjet Business Development Director, Mr. Desmond Lin, said: “Vinh International Airport boasts excellent facilities and an attractive, modern design that will facilitate growing transportation demands for Nghe An Province and contribute to the economic development of the whole north central region.

“In the future Vietjet is committed to adding routes and boosting the flight frequency of existing flights to Vinh City to meet increasing travel demand. Our HCM City-Vinh connection has already facilitated tourism and trade growth between both destinations. Meanwhile, we are delighted to have flown 10 million passengers and look forward to flying millions more in coming years.”

With a fleet of 20 Airbus A320 aircraft, Vietjet now operates 150 flights per day, transporting 10 million passengers on approximately 60,000 flights in just over three years.
