National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will launch direct flights between Ha Noi/HCM City and India’s commercial hub, Mumbai, from May 20 to expand the international network to meet the increasing demand of passengers.

The airline will operate four flights per week on the Ha Noi – Mumbai route, departing on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and three flights per week on the HCM City – Mumbai route, departing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays on Airbus A321.
