"India is one of our priority markets and an important addition to our growing network," said Nguyen Thanh Son, VietJet's Vice President.

Currently, VietJet operates around 400 flights daily, carrying more than 80 million passengers to date, with 129 routes covering destinations across Vietnam and international destinations.

VietJet began operating in December 2011 and has also been a subject of headlines previously because of their stewardesses being dressed in bikinis on certain flights. The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) had fined VietJet in January 2018 as 'models dressed in bikinis' were present on a special flight that was flying home Vietnam's under-23 football team from the Asian Cup in China, The Times Of India reports.
