Vietnamese airline Vietjet officially launched its Clark-Ho Chi Minh City route on November 10, 2026, introducing the first nonstop flights between the two destinations.
The new service operates three times weekly, every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, expanding Clark International Airport’s (CRK) international route network and providing travelers from Central and Northern Luzon direct access to Vietnam.
Flight VJ1871 departs Clark at 5:05 p.m. and arrives in Ho Chi Minh City at 6:35 p.m. local time. The return flight, VJ1870, leaves Ho Chi Minh City at 12:30 p.m. and arrives in Clark at 4:05 p.m.
Passengers arriving in Ho Chi Minh City can also connect to other destinations in Vietnam and the Asia-Pacific through Vietjet’s domestic and international network.
Noel Manankil, president and chief executive officer of LIPAD Corporation, operator of Clark International Airport, said Vietjet’s entry adds to the airport’s growing list of international airline partners.
He said the airport remains committed to attracting more airlines and expanding its route network to serve the travel requirements of passengers from Central and Northern Luzon.
Vietjet CEO Nguyen Thanh Son said the new route strengthens the airline’s presence in the Philippines while providing more travel opportunities between the two countries.
He added that the additional connection is expected to support tourism and economic exchanges between the Philippines and Vietnam.
