Vietjet Thailand has inaugurated its first international service using the Boeing 737-8, marking a pivotal moment in its fleet expansion strategy. The airline, which has traditionally operated Airbus aircraft, is now diversifying its fleet with the addition of Boeing models. This move aligns with Vietjet Thailand's broader strategy to enhance its fleet's modernity and sustainability.
The new Bangkok to Nha Trang route will operate seven round-trip flights weekly, offering passengers more travel flexibility. Departures from Bangkok are scheduled for 11:40, arriving in Nha Trang at 13:30, with return flights leaving Nha Trang at 14:20 and landing back in Bangkok at 16:25. This direct connection between two major tourism hubs is expected to boost tourism, trade, and investment between Thailand and Vietnam, as well as across the Asia-Pacific region.
To celebrate the launch, Vietjet Thailand is offering promotional fares starting at THB199 (approximately USD6.4), available for booking until 31 January 2026. The promotion covers travel from 16 February to 30 November 2026.
The Boeing 737-8, known for its operational efficiency and passenger comfort, was first introduced to Vietjet Thailand's domestic network in November 2025. The airline plans to expand its fleet to 50 Boeing 737-8 aircraft, facilitating its international network growth to markets such as Japan, South Korea, and China. This expansion underscores Vietjet's commitment to sustainable aviation growth and regional economic development.
