Vietnam Airlines, the national carrier of Vietnam, proudly marked a new milestone today with the successful launch of its upgraded wide-body operations on the Mumbai-Hanoi route. The airline will now operate four weekly flights using the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A350 aircraft, offering passengers a superior travel experience with enhanced comfort, cutting-edge technology, and greater capacity.
The inaugural wide-body flight departed from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai, amidst much fanfare, featuring a ceremonial cake-cutting ceremony and a warm welcome for passengers. Dignitaries, airport officials, and representatives from Vietnam Airlines and its India GSA, Aeroprime Group, were present to celebrate the occasion.
Speaking at the launch event, Mr. Nguyen Trung Hieu, Country Manager India at Vietnam Airlines, said, “We are thrilled to begin this exciting new chapter in our India operations. Upgrading to wide-body aircraft on the Mumbai-Hanoi route underscores our dedication to delivering unparalleled comfort and convenience to Indian travelers. We look forward to welcoming more passengers onboard and strengthening the vital air bridge between India and Vietnam.”
This upgrade is a strong testament to Vietnam Airlines’ growing commitment to the Indian market, providing travelers with best-in-class amenities such as spacious full-flat beds in business class, in-flight entertainment across all classes, gourmet meal options including specially curated Indian cuisine, and world-class Vietnamese hospitality.
Adding to this, Mr. Abhishek Goyal, CEO & Executive Director of Aeroprime Group, commented, “Vietnam has rapidly emerged as a preferred destination for Indian travelers, and with this upgrade, Vietnam Airlines is perfectly positioned to meet the growing demand, enhancing connectivity between India and Vietnam and setting a new benchmark for travel experience in this sector.”
Vietnam Airlines currently operates 14 flights weekly from Delhi and Mumbai to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. The introduction of wide-body aircraft on the Mumbai-Hanoi sector further strengthens its position as a leading carrier of choice for travelers between India and Vietnam. Additionally, Vietnam Airlines has announced the commencement of direct flights from Bengaluru and Hyderabad, beginning in May.
