Vietjet to launch Singapore–Phu Quoc route

The new route will operate four round-trip flights per week.

Vietjet launched a new direct route connecting Singapore and Phu Quoc, the company announced during Vietnam’s General Secretary To Lam’s official visit to Singapore.

Starting 30 May, the new route will operate four round-trip flights per week, bringing Vietjet’s total number of weekly flights between Singapore and Vietnam to 78.

This addition marks Vietjet’s fourth route to Singapore, complementing its existing services from Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang. With this growing network, the airline expects to serve over 500,000 passengers annually between the two countries.

Since introducing its Singapore-Ho Chi Minh City route in 2014, Vietjet has operated over 16,000 flights, transporting more than 2.6 million passengers between the two countries.

Furthermore, Vietjet and Carlyle Aviation Partners have signed a $399m (US$300m) financing agreement to support the delivery of new aircraft from 2025 to 2026. This deal is a key step in Vietjet’s strategy to expand its modern fleet, which includes over 400 aircraft on order.

Carlyle Aviation Partners, the aviation arm of The Carlyle Group, manages 363 aircraft across 53 countries.

Vietjet and Satair, an Airbus Services company, have signed a multi-year agreement for Satair’s Integrated Material Services (IMS) to support Vietjet’s entire Airbus A320 and A330 fleet.

Under this exclusive agreement, Satair will provide consignment stock and pooling support for expendables to optimise the airline’s operational costs.

Satair’s IMS offering is an end-to-end supply chain solution that includes planning, logistics, and inventory management.
