Vietjet Lights up Diwali in Ahmedabad with a Spectacular Celebration of India–Vietnam Friendship

AHMEDABAD:
Bringing the festive cheer to the heart of Gujarat, Vietnam’s leading airline Vietjet celebrated Diwali in style at Nexus Ahmedabad One Mall, blending the radiance of India’s festival of lights with the charm and tradition of Vietnam. The vibrant celebration showcased the airline’s commitment to being more than an airline – a cultural ambassador connecting people and places.

The evening’s highlight was the spectacular centrepiece “Tunnel of Light”, which drew inspiration from Diwali’s message of “light triumphing over darkness”. The immersive installation, combining images of India and Vietnam’s iconic tourist destinations, attracted hundreds of visitors who came to explore, take photos, and enjoy the festive ambience.

Visitors also took part in an interactive, guests penned their wishes and dreams on small cards and placed them on a model Vietjet aircraft representing journeys filled with love, happiness, and hope. Each participant received a Hoi An lantern, a refined Vietnamese keepsake that perfectly embodied the essence of Diwali. The moment the model aircraft was illuminated with hundreds of handwritten wishes created a moving highlight of the celebration.

The event featured a soulful performance by a Vietnamese traditional music ensemble, with four young artists performing on the đàn bầu, đàn tranh, đàn T’rưng, and flute. They delivered melodies that were traditional Vietnamese tunes while adding a fresh twist to popular international songs – much to the delight of the audience.

Adding a local flair to the celebration, renowned local singer duo Preeti & Pinky set the stage ablaze with their energetic performances. Many attendees joined in the dancing, turning the Vietjet stage into a joyous celebration of rhythm and togetherness.

Two popular travel blogger couples – Hemani Chawda & Sagar Patel and Charvi & Jaimin Shah – also joined the celebration, sharing inspiring stories about discovering new destinations and enriching life through travel.

As part of the festivities, Vietjet presented a series of attractive gifts and organised a lucky draw, offering prizes such as five round-trip tickets to destinations including Vietnam, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.

Pioneering the expansion of air connectivity between India and Vietnam, Vietjet currently operates direct flights linking Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru with three major Vietnamese cities: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. This growing network has contributed to making Vietnam one of the most popular international destinations among Indian travellers in recent years.

Beyond passenger and cargo services, Vietjet continues to play an active role as a cultural bridge connecting peoples and nations. Through vibrant events like the Ahmedabad Diwali celebration, the airline strengthens its presence not only on the global aviation map but also in the hearts and travel dreams of people across the destinations it serves.
