Under the plan, the Hanoi–Amsterdam route will commence operations on June 16, 2026, with an expected frequency of three return flights per week using modern wide-body Airbus A350 aircraft. This will be the first direct air link between Vietnam and the Netherlands, helping to shorten travel time and enhance connectivity between Vietnam and one of Europe’s key economic, logistics and aviation transit hubs. Nguyen Quang Trung, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines, said Europe has always been one of the carrier’s key international markets. The launch event and sales campaign for the Hanoi–Amsterdam route in the Netherlands demonstrate the airline’s commitment to strengthening cooperation with travel agencies and partners across the region. By expanding its flight network and intensifying market promotion in Europe, Vietnam Airlines continues to affirm its role as the national flag carrier in enhancing links between Vietnam and major global economic centres, thereby helping boost trade, tourism and the international promotion of the country and its people.
