Vietnam’s low-cost carrier VietJetAir was shortlisted in the TOP 5 Best New Route Launch category at the prestigious 2012 Budgies & Travel Awards held recently in London.

The airline’s highly successful connection linking Ho Chi Minh City with Hanoi was joined in the Top 5 by new routes from SpiceJet (India), EasyJet (England), Southwest (America) and AirAsia X (Malaysia).

The Budgies & Travel Awards celebrates the leadership, efforts, accomplishments and the ingenuity of the low cost aviation industry and the Asian travel industry. The annual event is an occasion to honour the industry’s innovators, forward thinkers and revolutionaries.

Pritam Singh, deputy director of VietJetAir, said: “This acclaim caps what has been a stellar debut year for VietJetAir. Our Hanoi-Ho Cho Minh City route has proven to be a winner with Vietnamese and foreign travelers and now we have been honored alongside our peers by the travel industry.”

“We operate as a new generation, low-cost carrier with new Airbus A320 aircraft. All VietJetAir flights are also staffed with friendly and enthusiastic flight attendants and feature maximum safety measures and impressive service quality at a low cost. This incredible acknowledgment at the Budgies & Travel Awards is a great acknowledgement of our outstanding products and services,” added Signh.

VietJetAir already offers 22 flights a day across an expanding network, which includes Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Nha Trang and Haiphong. Domestic and international destinations currently under consideration include Phu Quoc, Dalat, Hue, Vinh, Bangkok, HongKong, Taiwan and Singapore.
