Vietnam Airlines announced that it will operate flights between Hanoi and Munich with a frequency of 2 flights per week, departing from Hanoi on Fridays and Sundays. The return flights will depart from Munich on Mondays and Saturdays.
Additionally, the route between Ho Chi Minh City and Munich is also scheduled to be operated once a week on Mondays, and the return leg on Tuesdays. Starting from December, this route will add another flight on Wednesdays each week.
Vietnam’s national airline stated that all flights will be operated by environmentally friendly Boeing 787 wide-body aircraft.
With this new destination, Vietnam Airlines will operate a total of 4 routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to the two major cities of Germany, Frankfurt and Munich.
Currently, Vietnam Airlines is the only domestic airline operating direct flights to Europe. Previously, Bamboo Airways operated flights from Vietnam to Germany and the UK using Boeing 787 aircraft. However, the airline has since returned all wide-body aircraft, suspended international routes, and only focuses on domestic flights using Airbus narrow-body aircraft during its comprehensive restructuring process.
In January, Vietnam Airlines Chairman Dang Ngoc Hoa stated that this year the airline will open more international routes such as Milan (Italy), Copenhagen (Denmark), and North America, including Seattle (USA), and Vancouver (Canada).
As the third largest city in Germany, Munich is not only an important economic, cultural, and transportation hub, but also a city with a thriving tourism industry. Munich is known for its rich history, featuring a blend of ancient and modern architectural landmarks, and is famous for the renowned Oktoberfest beer festival held annually in October.
