New Routes and Old Flames

First up, the comebacks. Starting April 1, 2025, the Hanoi–Kuala Lumpur route is back, baby! This thrice-weekly service (on the trusty Airbus A321) has been MIA for a while, but it’s ready to reconnect Vietnam with Malaysia.

And guess who else is making a dramatic return? The Ho Chi Minh City–Hong Kong route, dormant since 2020. Daily flights start March 30, so it’s time to rekindle that love affair with dim sum and skyline selfies.

But the pièce de résistance? A brand-new long-haul route from Hanoi to Milan Malpensa. Yes, you read that right—Vietnam Airlines is flying you straight to fashion capital fabulousness starting July 1, 2025. With three weekly flights on the sleek Boeing 787-9, you’ll feel like a VIP before you even land.

Upgrades and Frequency Tweaks

Vietnam Airlines isn’t just adding routes; they’re upgrading their game. Starting May 1, the Hanoi–Mumbai route will swap out its Airbus A321s for the luxurious Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350-900. Come September 4, it’s all-A350, all the time—because nothing says “we’re serious about comfort” like a wide-body aircraft.

Meanwhile, Hanoi–Munich is stepping up from two to three weekly flights beginning July 3, 2025, ensuring Europe gets a little extra Vietnam Airlines love.

On the flip side, Hanoi–London Heathrow is cutting back to three weekly flights from March 30, 2025. But hey, quality over quantity, right?

Regional Comebacks Worth Cheering For

Vietnam Airlines is also showing some love to its regional neighbors. The Da Nang–Bangkok route, last seen in early 2023, returns March 30, 2025, with four weekly flights on the A321. This route is perfect for beach-hoppers and city-break enthusiasts alike.

Why It Matters

These updates are more than just extra flight options—they’re a declaration that Vietnam Airlines is here to dominate the skies. Whether you’re jetting off to Europe’s cultural hotspots or bouncing around Southeast Asia, the airline is doubling down on connectivity and comfort.
