Vietnam Airlines, the flag carrier of Vietnam, is pleased to announce a significant upgrade to its service on the Mumbai (BOM) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) route. The airline will now deploy modern wide-body aircraft, including the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, to meet the growing demand for travel between India and Vietnam. Driven by high demand and strong customer loyalty from Indian travelers, this strategic move aims to deliver a luxury flying experience at competitive fares.
This strategic upgrade underscores Vietnam Airlines’ strong commitment to the Indian market, following the successful introduction of wide-body flights on the Mumbai-Hanoi route due to soaring demand from Indian travelers. The new wide-body operations on the Mumbai-Ho Chi Minh City sector are a direct response to this demand, promising a world-class travel experience with enhanced amenities. With this upgrade, Vietnam Airlines is now operating daily wide-body flights from Mumbai, offering passengers superior comfort and service.
The Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 are renowned for their advanced technology, spacious cabins, and superior in-flight comfort. Passengers can look forward to a premium journey with features such as full-flat beds in Business Class, extensive in-flight entertainment across all cabins, and specially curated meal options, including a dedicated Indian menu.
Nguyen Trung Hieu, Country Manager India at Vietnam Airlines, stated, “Following the incredible response to our wide-body operations from Mumbai to Hanoi, we are thrilled to expand this enhanced service to our Mumbai-Ho Chi Minh City route. This upgrade reflects our dedication to offering Indian travelers unparalleled comfort and convenience. We are confident that this will further strengthen the air bridge between our two nations and cater to the booming tourism and business travel demand.”
Abhishek Goyal, CEO & Executive Director, Aeroprime Group, added, “The decision to deploy wide-body aircraft on this vital route is a testament to Vietnam Airlines’ forward-thinking strategy and its commitment to the Indian market. As the proud All India GSA of Vietnam Airlines, we are fully committed to supporting this initiative, which not only boosts connectivity but also sets a new standard for travel between Mumbai and Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnam has become a top-tier destination for Indian tourists, and this upgrade is perfectly timed to meet that demand with superior service and capacity.”
The upgrade is expected to provide seamless connectivity for Indian travelers not only to Ho Chi Minh City but also to key destinations across Vietnam and other parts of Asia-Pacific, including China, Japan, Korea, and Australia, via Vietnam Airlines’ extensive network
