VietJet Air to take off next month

The low cost operator said it had scheduled daily return flights between HCM City and Ha Noi at 12.10pm and 5.30pm at a cost of VND900,000 each way. The airline will also fly HCM City-Da Nang from February with tickets VND455,000 one way. The airline's four-year delay in takeoff was due to the global economic crisis. VietJet Air will be the fifth airline to operate in the domestic market besides Viet Nam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Air Mekong and Vasco.
