“Vietjet’s decision to launch its first Clark service is a strong vote of confidence in the market we serve. Clark gives airlines access to a large catchment area beyond Metro Manila, and this direct connection to Ho Chi Minh City creates a more efficient travel option for passengers across Central and Northern Luzon. We see considerable potential for this route to support both tourism and business links between the two markets,” said Noel Manankil, president and CEO of Luzon International Premiere Airport Development (LIPAD) Corporation, the operator of Clark International Airport.

Vietjet flight VJ1871 will depart Clark at 5:05 p.m. and arrive in Ho Chi Minh City at 6:35 p.m. local time. The return flight, VJ1870, will depart Ho Chi Minh City at 12:30 p.m. and arrive in Clark at 4:05 p.m.

Ho Chi Minh City offers a vibrant mix of history, culture, shopping, dining, and nightlife. It also serves as a gateway to other destinations in Vietnam, with travelers able to connect onward to places such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, and Hue through Vietjet’s extensive domestic network.
