Specifically, the airline will prioritise deploying the Airbus A350, which offers a higher seat capacity, on certain services to Europe. In March alone, the carrier plans to switch 11 pairs of flights between Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Munich in Germany to operations using the Airbus A350 aircraft. The use of larger wide-body aircraft is expected to increase available capacity on Vietnam–Europe routes to accommodate passenger demand. Vietnam Airlines said its flights to Europe are operating safely via flight corridors that comply with operational conditions and avoid areas affected by ongoing conflicts. The push to mobilise more resources and increase capacity comes at a time when the global aviation market is facing uncertainty.
