Vietjet says to will serve Avalon Airport four times a week to and from Ho Chi Minh City.
Launch date is still undisclosed but will be sometime in the second half of 2020.

"It’s a great outcome, our second international airline, and we’re very excited."
Avalon currently handles international flights by AirAsia X.
It will be Vietjet’s first foray into Australia.
