Vietnam Airlines adds more flights between Vietnam and India
VOV.VN - National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has unveiled that it will move to increase the number of flights between the nation and India by 30% as of March 26 in order to meet the rising demand for travel among tourists from the two countries.
The plan will see the carrier operate four flights per week on the Hanoi-New Delhi route, departing on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Furthermore, the airline will also operate three flights per week on the Ho Chi Minh City-New Delhi route, with flights departing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
This comes after Vietnam Airlines officially put direct flights connecting Vietnam and India into operation in June last year.
The new air service has therefore made an important contribution to strengthening trade, cultural, and social connectivity between the two countries.
Moreover, the carrier is preparing to launch a new route to Mumbai, one of the largest economic, cultural, and social centres of India.
Recent years has seen India become one of the leading trade partners that has established comprehensive and extensive relationship with Vietnam, especially in the field of tourism.
The Indian market also represents one of the top 10 countries with the largest international search volume for Vietnamese tourism.
