Trip.Com signs MOU with Vietjet

SINGAPORE, 18 January 2024: Global travel service provider Trip.com Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Vietjet Air to make travel easier for travellers to search and book other travel services when visiting the airline’s website.

To achieve that ambitious goal, Trip.com Group will launch a suite of travel products on Vietjet’s website, powering hotel bookings, airport transfers, attractions, and activities. It will also provide Vietjet with the latest technologies, such as the virtual Interline solution, to broaden Vietjet’s global network footprint.

Trip.com Group chief executive officer flights Yudong Tan said: “We are delighted to partner with Vietjet Air, a leading low-cost airline, to offer travellers seamless experiences when planning and booking their trips with a comprehensive range of travel products and deals. We have worked with Vietjet before on successful campaigns to promote Vietnam as a destination of choice for travellers, and we believe our mutual commitment to prioritising customer satisfaction is a testament to both companies’ customer centricity. We look forward to a fruitful partnership with Vietjet Air.”
