The low-cost airline has increased its services on Da Nang- Ho Chi Minh City route to 4 daily round-trip flights, and on Da Nang-Ha Noi route with 3 daily flights, starting from 13 September.  The carrier has planned to increase the number of flights on the two routes to 7 and 10 respectively from early October.

Vietjet Air has also resumed some domestic routes connecting Da Nang with other nationwide locations.

In detail, the carrier operates one daily round-trip flight between Da Nang and Hai Phong City, and 5 round-trip flights weekly between Da Nang and Da Lat City.

Also, it offers 4 round-trip flights per week between Da Nang and Buon Ma Thuot, Can Tho and Nha Trang.

Vietjet Air has lifted restrictions on seat distancing adopted for its domestic flights departing from Da Nang after obtaining permission from the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam.

However, certain restrictions and preventive measures adopted for air freight services remain in place in a bid to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Included are strict implementation of health check procedures for passengers, and following all mandatory requirements such as wearing face coverings when travelling by plane. The carrier will encourage passengers to carry and use hand sanitisers and clean hands often with soaps and water, as well as use Bluezone, Viet Nam's official Bluetooth-based contact tracing app.
