Mumbai, 9 November 2026: Celebrating India's Festival of Lights, Vietjet has brought the vibrant spirit of Diwali onboard its flights, creating a festive experience for passengers travelling between Bengaluru and Ho Chi Minh City. The special celebration brought Indian traditions and festive cheer to the skies, allowing passengers to experience the warmth of Diwali at 10,000 metres above the ground.

As part of the celebrations, passengers were welcomed into a festive atmosphere with traditional Indian sweets, symbolising joy, happiness and prosperity. Vietjet's cabin crew, dressed in Indian traditional attire, personally distributed charming festive souvenirs and shared heartfelt wishes for peace and good fortune. Passengers also had the opportunity to write Diwali greeting cards for their loved ones, friends or themselves, adding a personal touch to the celebration. These thoughtful gestures brought passengers together through moments of sharing and festive cheer.

Extending the celebrations beyond the special flights on 6 November, Vietjet also extended the festive spirit to its Indian airport stations through Diwali-themed activations from 5 to 9 November. These included dedicated photo spots and festive standees, giving passengers an opportunity to capture the celebrations before their journeys. Gift stations at check-in counters offered greeting cards, festive stickers and e-vouchers, bringing the Diwali experience to passengers even before they boarded their flights.

Vietjet's India-Vietnam network currently connects Mumbai, New Delhi, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Bengaluru with Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, offering Indian travellers convenient direct connections to Vietnam. The network supports travel between the two countries for leisure, business and cultural exchange, while opening up opportunities for Indian visitors to explore Vietnam's cities, landscapes and experiences.
