The big announcement was made official by the Habarovsk Krai Information Agency, with the International Airport of Khabarovsk rolling out the red carpet, or rather, a water arch welcome!

Enrichment Insight:Vietjet Air's entry into the Far East market was made possible by the airline's fleet expansion, including the acquisition of long-range aircraft like the Airbus A321XLR. This allowed the airline to reach destinations further afield in Asia and Russia. While specific starting dates for flights to Khabarovsk are not provided in the available data, Vietjet's strategic growth trajectory suggests that its flight program to the city most likely began around or after 2020.
The entry of Vietjet Air, Vietnam's budget airline, into the Far East market expands the finance sector of the aviation industry, as more travel opportunities become available. With flights departing every Wednesday and Saturday from Khabarovsk to Nha Trang, lifestyle choices for passengers in Khabarovsk now include tropical getaways in a city known for its museums, amusement parks, and historical landmarks. The expansion of air travel to Nha Trang, spearheaded by Vietjet Air, demonstrates the interconnectedness of the global transportation industry.
