Code-share flights to North America are an important premise for Vietnam Airlines to develop products that directly connect Vietnam and the US.
The carriers agreed to use each other's ground services, good services, and aircraft technology at the bases of each carrier. The three firms considered the possibility of elevating cooperation to a new, tighter form such as a joint venture in the near future.
