Vietjet to launch flights to Male, Maldives on December 5

Vietjet will introduce its first route to the Maldives connecting the popular resort island destination and Ho Chi Minh City starting December 5.

The Vietnam-based budget airline will operate three weekly flights (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) between Ho Chi Minh City and the Male via Colombo. Using an Airbus A320 aircraft, the outbound flight will depart Ho Chi Minh City at 0705H and arrive at Colombo at 1050H. It will then continue from Colombo to Male at 1215H before arriving at 1310H. The return flight will depart Male at 1410H and arrive at Colombo at 1605H. It will then continue onward back to Ho Chi Minh City, departing Colombo at 1705H before arriving back at Ho Chi Minh City at 2350H.

“With Vietjet's new flight route, people and travelers can easily combine trips to explore both Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Tickets are now on sale for all routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City with the Maldives and Sri Lanka, as well as the route between Sri Lanka and the Maldives.”

The Ho Chi Minh City-Colombo-Male route will build upon its current thrice-weekly services between Ho Chi Minh City and Colombo which started on August 18.
