KUALA LUMPUR, April 12 (Bernama) -- Vietnam low-cost airline, Vietjet Air, is giving away 50,000 promotional tickets from just RM0 in conjunction with its newest international route connecting Kuala Lumpur with Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on June 1. Vietjet Vice-President Nguyen Thi Thuy Binh said the launch of the new route was part of its masterplan to increase its operations in the South East Asian region. "We will be operating one flight daily for the Kuala Lumpur - Ho Chi Minh sector and plan to increase the frequency in three months based on market demand," she told reporters after announcing the new route. Commenting on the proposed airline fee hike by the Department of Civil Aviation, Nguyen said the airline company had not received any official statement regarding the new policy.
