National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will launch new direct air routes connecting Hanoi to two major cities in India, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, from May this year.

The Hanoi - Bengaluru route will start on May 1, with four round trips per week (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays).

Flights on the Hanoi - Hyderabad route will be effective on May 8, with three round trips per week (Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays).

Vietnam Airlines has since long exploited two direct routes connecting Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Delhi and Mumbai of India.

In 2024, Vietnam welcomed over 500,000 Indian tourists, making India one of the country’s top 10 largest sources of international visitors.
