Vietjet strengthens Sri Lanka–Vietnam connectivity with new Hanoi routes, bookings now open
10 Nov, 2026
Vietjet plans to start flights linking Colombo with Hanoi on 9 February 2027, with three return services a week. The Vietnam-based airline has opened bookings and will also sell travel between Hanoi and the Maldives on flights routed through Colombo. Vietjet Air
The airline schedules flights for Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Maldives service will stop in Colombo in both directions, creating a second way for passengers in Sri Lanka to use the route. Travellers can book the Colombo–Maldives sector separately if they are not continuing to Vietnam.
The Hanoi flights add a second Vietnamese destination to Vietjet’s Sri Lankan schedule alongside its existing Colombo–Ho Chi Minh City route. The airline has also announced a Maldives–Ho Chi Minh City service via Colombo. The Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City routes serve different parts of Vietnam, so travellers should check the destination and routing when booking.
Hanoi gives travellers a starting point for visiting northern Vietnam. The city’s attractions include the Old Quarter, Hoan Kiem Lake and the Temple of Literature. Ha Long Bay is among the destinations outside the capital. Passengers planning an onward flight can compare travel times and check whether their chosen sectors are sold together.
Vietjet has also announced a separate Da Nang–Jakarta route, scheduled to start on 20 December 2026 with four return flights a week. That service does not operate from Sri Lanka. Vietjet Air
The February schedule is a planned launch. Passengers can use Vietjet’s booking service to check flight times and the total price for their dates, including any baggage or other optional charges.
