Vietjet’s expansion into Cebu and Clark adds three direct international routes to the Philippines’ regional aviation network, giving travelers outside Metro Manila more flight options while strengthening connections between the Philippines and Vietnam.
The Vietnamese carrier launched its Cebu-Hanoi, Cebu-Ho Chi Minh City and Clark-Ho Chi Minh City services on November 10, with each route operating three times weekly.
The two Cebu routes will use Airbus A321 aircraft, according to Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA), operated by Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corp. (ACAC).
The addition of Hanoi builds on Vietjet’s original plan, announced in June, to operate direct flights between Cebu and Ho Chi Minh City, doubling its planned direct routes from Cebu.
MCIA now serves 28 domestic and 17 international destinations through four Philippine-based and 19 foreign airline partners, with Vietjet joining its growing roster of international carriers.
The additional connections also support Cebu’s ambition to become a major tourism transfer gateway, connecting international visitors to other Philippine island destinations through the airport’s domestic network.
Vietjet expects the routes to encourage two-way travel and support trade and tourism cooperation between the Philippines and Vietnam.
To mark the launch, the airline is offering one-way fares starting at $75, inclusive of taxes and fees, for travel from December 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, subject to blackout dates.
