Phnom Penh: May 27, 2026 – Vietjet Air has announced the launch of its new direct route between Hanoi and Prague with eco-friendly fares starting from US$405, marking a major milestone in Vietjet’s expansion into Europe. The new route is scheduled to begin on October 10, 2026, operated by Airbus A330 aircraft via Almaty in Kazakhstan, with the first flights being twice a week on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
Vietjet’s global expansion opens up more travel opportunities from Cambodia to Central Asia and Europe. Travelers from Cambodia can now travel on the new route between Hanoi and Prague via Vietjet’s direct flights between Siem Reap and Hanoi. With the airline’s growing network, passengers can also enjoy 186 international routes to more than 20 countries and territories across Asia Pacific.
Vietjet is offering special fares starting from US$405 one-way (including taxes and fees) for flights between Hanoi and Prague, which can be booked via www.vietjetair.com Vietjet Air mobile app and Vietjet official ticket offices and agents worldwide. In addition, passengers can choose Business Class and SkyBoss – Wings for Leaders tickets, where every journey is provided with attentive service, delicious cuisine and a civilized travel experience.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son, CEO of Vietjet shared: “This is a major milestone in Vietjet’s strategy to become a global airline. With a new generation fleet, advanced technology and a constantly expanding flight network, Vietjet will operate more routes to Europe, allowing passengers to easily connect Europe and Asia-Pacific, including destinations throughout Vietnam and Thailand. Through Vietjet, Europe is now closer than ever. We are offering more affordable airfares than ever before, combined with high-quality, world-class services, which greatly boosts the demand for family travel and economic and cultural exchanges between the two regions.”
Mr. Jiří Pos, CEO of Prague Airport, said: “Vietnam is the most important market in Southeast Asia in terms of passenger numbers. In 2025, more than 75,000 passengers traveled between Prague and Hanoi. The new flight connection will make travel easier for the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic and their families. At the same time, we expect the growth of tourism and convenience, which will stimulate more travel demand from Vietnam for Czech travelers. Another important point is the strengthening of trade relations between the Czech Republic and Vietnam. Vietnam also represents an important gateway to Southeast Asia, and we expect this route to be used for cargo transportation as well.”
Mr. František Reismüller, CEO of CzechTourism, said: “The air connection between Prague and Hanoi is very important for Czech tourism. Vietnam is one of the markets with great potential, not only in its own right, but also as a transit point for other Southeast Asian countries. This convenience will encourage more travelers to make their travel decisions. “The new route will therefore significantly facilitate travel to the Czech Republic, which will support travel demand from Southeast Asia and open up further opportunities for the development of tourism and trade relations.”
Prague is known as the “Golden City” or “City of a Hundred Statues”, famous for its historical Gothic and Baroque architecture. Hanoi is a vibrant cultural gateway to Vietnam, with a centuries-old diverse heritage that connects international travelers to famous historical sites, natural wonders, beautiful beaches, and world-famous cuisine, which will be offered at every tourist destination across the country. Almaty (Kazakhstan) is renowned for its beautiful natural scenery, notably the foothills of the Trans-Ili Alatau Mountains. The new route is expected to offer passengers a diverse experience throughout their journey.
