This development strengthens ties between the two nations, offering travelers reliable, affordable, and convenient options for business, leisure, and cultural exchanges.
The first flight, VJ905, departed Hanoi on 28 November 2024 and arrived at KLIA Terminal 2, welcomed by a celebratory event attended by dignitaries from both Tourism Malaysia and VietJet Air.
