Vietnam Airlines is preparing to increase the number of routes it offers to Australia just days after Vietjet launched its first flights to the country.
A third route to Europe will open later this month and CEO Dang Tat Thang says the airline is exploring more international markets as it seeks to make Vietnam “a crucial gateway in ASEAN region.”
Vietnam Airlines plans to begin serving San Francisco by the end of November, while counterpart Bamboo Airways hopes to launch US flights the following month.
Virgin Australia’s new seasonal flights to Launceston, Wizz Air adding connections from Hungary and Romania and Saudia returning to Manchester are among the latest new route announcements and services resuming.
