Vietnam Airlines Launches New Routes from Munich Airport

Vietnam Airlines has officially inaugurated its new routes from Munich Airport, marking the airline’s expansion into Asia with direct flights to two major Vietnamese cities: Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Utilizing a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a comfortable three-class configuration—Business Class, Premium Economy, and Economy Class—the airline will operate flights twice a week, beginning immediately.

Flights to the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, are scheduled for Mondays and Saturdays, while Ho Chi Minh City, often referred to as Saigon, will be served every Tuesday. Starting December 2024, the airline plans to increase its frequency to Ho Chi Minh City, adding an additional flight on Thursdays, making it a robust schedule for travelers.

Munich Airport is now only the fourth European destination in Vietnam Airlines’ network, joining Frankfurt, London Heathrow, and Paris Charles de Gaulle.

Jost Lammers, CEO of Munich Airport, expressed excitement about the new flights, stating, “We are delighted about the new flights by Vietnam Airlines from Munich Airport. The connections represent a significant expansion of our Asia services and strengthen Munich Airport’s position as one of the leading aviation hubs in Europe. We are confident that these new direct flights will further enhance economic ties and cultural exchange between Bavaria and Vietnam.”

Vietnam has emerged as a popular travel destination in Southeast Asia, attracting tourists and business travelers alike. The country is now one of the most visited locations in the Asia-Pacific region, thanks in part to substantial investments from Bavarian companies. Additionally, there are numerous collaborations in the fields of science and education between Bavaria and Vietnam.

The launch of the new routes was celebrated in front of the Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787 by key figures, including Cao Chinh Mien, General Manager for Germany at Vietnam Airlines, and other prominent representatives from the airline and Munich Airport, showcasing the importance of this new connection.

Travelers can now take advantage of these exciting new routes to explore the rich culture, history, and stunning landscapes of Vietnam, enhancing travel options for both leisure and business passengers in the region.
