The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will increase flights between Ha Noi and Sydney from three to seven a week.
Passenger volume between Viet Nam and Australia grew nearly 4 per cent on average from 2012 to 2016. In the first seven months this year, the number of passengers neared 213,000.
Vietnam Airlines launched service between HCM City and Sydney and Melbourne in 1992, using wide-body Boeing B777s and Airbus A330s.
In March 2017, the carrier started flying the Boeing B787s on the Ha Noi–Sydney route.
It has also partnered with Quantas, Jetstar Airways and Virgin Australia to offer connections to Australian destinations, such as Sydney/Melbourne–Adelaide, Canberra, Brisbane and Australia-New Zealand. — VNS
