Vietnam Airlines will resume daily non-stop flights from Heathrow to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from 29 October.
The flag carrier announced on Friday (28 April) it will increase the frequency from three to five five flights per week starting 1 July, before resuming daily operations.
Phan The Thang, the airline’s general manager for the UK and Ireland, said that re-establishing the daily connection to Vietnam was a “key priority” for the airline.
“With the resumption of daily services from London confirmed once again for this winter, we are determined to return to pre-pandemic passenger numbers – which peaked at approximately 74,000 from London Heathrow in 2019 - as soon as possible,” he added.
Operating at Heathrow since 2015, Vietnam Airlines launched a daily non-stop service to Vietnam in June 2016 before it was forced to halt all services due to Covid. The connection was eventually re-established after a two-year hiatus in June 2022.
Return tickets start to Hanoi start from £588 per person while services to Ho Chi Minh City are from £596 per person.
