Vietnam Airlines makes its debut at Munich Airport
October 8, 2024
The German hub has welcomed the arrival of Vietnamese Airlines with flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
In line with its plans to develop connectivity between the Bavarian capital and Asia, Vietnam Airlines has celebrated its premiere at Munich Airport. Passengers can now travel to Hanoi on Mondays and Saturday, while Ho Chi Minh City is served once a week on Tuesdays with the frequency expected to increase to two flights per week (including Thursdays) from December 2024.
“The connections are a significant expansion of our Asia services and strengthen Munich Airport’s position as one of the leading aviation hubs in Europe,” said Jost Lammers, CEO of Munich Airport. “We are confident that these new direct flights will further enhance economic ties and cultural exchange between Bavaria and Vietnam.”
The flights will be operated on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft and mark the Vietnamese carrier’s fourth European destination. The airline already operates flights to Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle.
The addition of Munich to the airline’s network underlines the region’s popularity for business and tourism, as well as Vietnam’s reputation as one of Asia-Pacific’s most visited destinations.
