About VietJet Air

VietJet Air is a privately owned Vietnamese low-cost airline that uses the code VJ. Its main base is Ho Chi Minh City, with Hanoi and Da Nang as other large bases. It competes on Vietnam's busy domestic trunk routes and flies internationally to Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, India and Australia. Fares are sold in tiers, from a basic Economy product up to SkyBoss, which bundles more services. VietJet is not in an alliance. A sister airline, Thai Vietjet, operates from Thailand under a different code.

VietJet Air fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. That applies to both ways of using IATA.co: the booking portal for agents and the flights API for developers. Payment is deducted from your prepaid balance. The fare tier you choose decides what is included, so compare the inclusions and rules shown for each option before you confirm.

VietJet Air airline codes explained

VietJet Air uses the two-letter IATA airline code VJ and the three-letter ICAO code VJC. The IATA code VJ is the one shown on tickets, fare displays and booking screens, while the ICAO code VJC is used in air traffic control and flight planning.

VietJet Air is a low-cost carrier, based in Vietnam, operating mainly from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN). It is not part of a global airline alliance.

Booking VietJet Air fares as a travel agent

Travel agents book VietJet Air fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live VJ fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. VietJet Air results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.

Search VietJet Air (VJ) through the flights API

Developers and agencies can run the same VietJet Air search from their own site, app or back office through the IATA.co flights API. Filter a search by the carrier code VJ and read the fares back as JSON, then book from the same prepaid balance. See the flights API and the API docs for the full reference.
