Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said: “We welcome new routes to Australia, especially Vietjet’s route, the first route connecting Việt Nam and Brisbane, the beautiful city of Australia that will host the 2032 Summer Olympics”.

The new route will be launched on June 16, 2023 with two return flights per week on wide-body A330 modern aircraft, which will contribute to promoting trade between Việt Nam and Brisbane, Queensland state and Australia in general, together with further developing bilateral relations in future, according to Vietjet.
