CEBU CITY, Philippines — Flying directly to Vietnam from Central Visayas and Luzon just got easier and more affordable. Vietjet has officially launched three new direct round-trip routes connecting Cebu and Clark to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, offering one-way Eco fares starting at just USD 75.

The inaugural ceremonies took place at Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) and Clark International Airport, welcomed by traditional water cannon salutes and attended by key aviation, tourism, and airport management officials.


Expanding Regional Connectivity

The new direct services position Cebu as a vital transfer hub while unlocking convenient flight options for travelers across Central Visayas, as well as Central and Northern Luzon via Clark.

"These flights give Cebuanos more ways to discover Vietnam, and give Vietnamese travelers a direct gateway to Cebu and the islands beyond it. This is what our CEB Connects vision is about: making Cebu the country’s premier transfer hub," said Athanasios Titonis, Chief Executive Officer of Aboitiz InfraCapital Cebu Airport Corporation (ACAC).

Echoing this sentiment for Luzon travelers, Noel Manankil, President and CEO of LIPAD Corporation, highlighted that Vietjet's arrival strengthens Clark International Airport’s growing international route network to serve regional travel demand.

Vietjet CEO Nguyen Thanh Son emphasized the strategic value of the expansion:

"The launch of three new direct routes to Cebu and Clark reflects Vietjet’s growing presence in the Philippine market and reinforces our role in connecting economic and tourism hubs, countries and cultures through air travel. We look forward to creating more convenient travel opportunities for passengers, stimulating two-way travel, and supporting trade and tourism cooperation between Vietnam and the Philippines."

Beyond Vietnam, Vietjet’s broader international network allows travelers from Cebu and Clark to connect smoothly to global destinations including Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, Kazakhstan, and the Czech Republic.
