Air Premia announced on August 7 that it will resume flights on the Incheon-Ho Chi Minh route starting November 5. This marks the return of the service after a hiatus of approximately three years and two months, following its suspension in September 2023.
The airline will operate the route five times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Flights will depart from Incheon International Airport at 6:40 PM and arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City at 11:00 PM local time. Return flights will leave Ho Chi Minh City at 12:30 AM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, arriving back at Incheon International Airport at 7:40 AM.
Flight schedules are subject to change based on government approvals, so passengers are advised to confirm the flight details before departure.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam's largest economic hub and commercial center, continues to see steady demand for business travel. It is also a popular destination for leisure travelers, offering a mix of tourism, culinary experiences, and cultural content.
With the resumption of this route, Air Premia aims to expand transfer demand for its North American routes via Incheon while enhancing its competitiveness in both passenger and cargo services in the high-demand Ho Chi Minh market.
Air Premia will operate the route using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, featuring wide premium seats that offer more space than standard economy seats, along with comfortable economy seating. The airline provides reasonable services that include in-flight meals and checked baggage.
Tickets will be available for purchase on Air Premia's website starting at 10:00 AM on August 10. To celebrate the resumption of the Ho Chi Minh route, the airline is offering a promotion with discounts of up to 15% for all classes until August 17. Passengers can enter the discount code 'SGNNEW15' at the time of booking to receive the discount, which applies to travel from the launch date until March 27 of next year.
An Air Premia official stated, "Ho Chi Minh is a strategic route with strong business and tourism demand, as well as excellent connectivity to North American routes. We will continue to enhance customer convenience and competitiveness through route operations that reflect customer demand and the expansion of our transfer network."
