Vietjet’s terminal switch at Changi

Vietjet Aviation will move its international flight operations to Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 (T4) from March 6. The airline currently operates at Terminal 3.

The shift in operations to T4 marks significant growth for Vietjet at Changi Airport. Travel time from the aircraft parking area to the terminal is also set to reduce.

Since the launch of its first route from Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City in 2014, the airline has increased the frequency of this route and launched daily return flights from Singapore to Hanoi.
