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.

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.”
