Vietjet has announced the launch of its new Hanoi – Prague service, offering Malaysian travellers an exciting new gateway to Europe. The new route marks Vietjet’s continued expansion into Europe while strengthening connectivity between Southeast Asia and the European Union.
The Hanoi – Prague route is scheduled to commence on 10 October 2026, operated by the airline’s Airbus A330 aircraft via Almaty, Kazakhstan, with an initial frequency of two return flights weekly on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Flights depart Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport at 8.25am and arrive at Vaclav Havel Airport Prague at 6.55pm local time. The return service departs Prague at 8.55pm and arrives in Hanoi at 4.20pm the following day.
For Malaysian travellers, the new route opens up more affordable and convenient access to the Czech Republic and Kazakhstan via Hanoi, while also providing seamless connections through Vietjet’s extensive regional network, including routes linking Kuala Lumpur to Vietnam’s key cities Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. The service is expected to appeal to Malaysian holidaymakers, students, business travellers, and those seeking multi-city Central Asian and European adventures at competitive fares.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son, CEO of Vietjet, shared “This is an important milestone in Vietjet’s strategy to become a global aviation group. With a new-generation fleet, modern technology, and a continuously expanding network, Vietjet will soon operate many more routes to Europe, enabling passengers to conveniently connect between Europe and the Asia-Pacific, including destinations across Vietnam and Thailand. With Vietjet, Europe is now closer than ever. We are offering more affordable fares than ever before alongside high-quality and world-class service, strongly boosting demand for visiting relatives, tourism, and economic and cultural exchange between the two regions.”
Known as the “Golden City,” Prague offers Malaysian travellers a chance to experience stunning European architecture, rich history, and easy access to nearby countries such as Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Poland. Meanwhile, Hanoi remains a popular destination among Malaysians for its vibrant culture, heritage attractions, and famous Vietnamese cuisine, while the transit via Almaty adds a unique touch to the journey with scenic views of Central Asia.
Passengers flying with Vietjet can also look forward to a comfortable onboard experience featuring a modern fleet, professional cabin crew, and freshly prepared hot meals inspired by Vietnamese cuisine, including favourites such as Pho and Banh Mi alongside international selections.
