Thai Vietjet has today announced the launch of a new virtual interline service powered by Icelandic technology provider Dohop. The platform will allow Thai Vietjet customers to purchase tickets across global destinations in one seamless transaction.
On Tuesday (September 27, 2022), Thai Vietjet announced the launch of a new virtual interline service, developed in partnership with Icelandic technology provider Dohop. Thai Vietjet customers will now have access to a network of carriers such as Scoot via their Bangkok (BKK) hub, as well as other connecting airports. Dohop’s API-based technology will enable customers to book tickets to select destinations, including ancillary services, in one seamless transaction. Dohop automatically generates the best options and fares for Thai Vietjet customers based on their departure and arrival airports. In the case of delays or disruptions, Dohop services the connection, while Vietjet retains customer ownership. Initially, Thai Vietjet customers will be able to travel to various global destinations via the carrier’s Bangkok base through connections with Scoot, with other carriers expected to be added to the platform in the near future.
In Tuesday’s announcment, Thai Vietjet’s Director of Commercial, Mr. Pinyot Pibulsonggram, said,
“We are excited to announce our collaboration with Dohop, which will provide international passengers with a more flexible choice of travel options across the Asia-Pacific region. With the collaboration between both parties, Thai Vietjet will be able to provide its passengers with a convenient connection to numerous destinations around the world via its Bangkok base, as we are expanding our flight connection with more carriers.”
Also commenting on the new virtual interline partnership, Dohop’s Commercial Director, Sarah Hanan, added,
“We are thrilled to be expanding our presence in South East Asia, and working with an innovative and forward-thinking airline such as Thai Vietjet further underlines the necessity for alternative interline solutions in global markets. As we head into the latter half of 2022, we look forward to further collaborating with Thai Vietjet, expanding their service, and providing new commercial opportunities.”
