Vietjet Launches Western Sydney Flights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first Vietjet service is scheduled for Sunday, January 10, 2027, with flights operating every Sunday and Wednesday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The services will use Airbus A330 aircraft<\/a> configured with 377 seats, giving the route significant capacity from its launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft will arrive at WSI at 10:00 a.m. before departing for Ho Chi Minh City at 12:05 p.m. A third weekly service will join the schedule in March, expanding the number of direct travel options between Western Sydney and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The route is expected to appeal strongly to both leisure travelers and people visiting friends and relatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 500,000 people traveled between New South Wales and Vietnam in 2025, while Western Sydney is home to more than 70,000 people of Vietnamese heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bangkok Flights Planned<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vietjet\u2019s expansion at WSI will not stop with Vietnam. Vietjet Thailand is planning to introduce four weekly flights between Western Sydney and Bangkok from November 2027, subject to regulatory approvals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The planned Bangkok service would give WSI another direct Southeast Asian connection and strengthen its role as a new international gateway for Greater Sydney. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precise schedules for the Thailand<\/a> route will be announced closer to its planned launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport began cargo operations on July 27, 2026, while passenger flights are scheduled to begin on October 25. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vietjet will become one of the early international carriers at the airport, following planned services from airlines including Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
