About Vietnam Airlines
Vietnam Airlines (ICAO: HVN) is the flag carrier of Vietnam, renowned for its extensive network and commitment to enhancing its services.
Vietnam Airlines traces its origins to January 1956, when it was established by the North Vietnamese government as Vietnam Civil Aviation. It was later re-established as a state-owned enterprise in April 1989 and officially became the national flag carrier in 1993, with the formation of the Vietnam Airlines Corporation. The airline has since grown significantly, moving from a minor carrier to a key player in Asian aviation, especially after the US trade embargo was lifted in 1994, allowing for fleet modernization.
The airline operates with a hub system, with its main operational bases at Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) in Hanoi and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City. Additionally, Da Nang International Airport (DAD) serves as a secondary hub. Vietnam Airlines boasts a modern fleet, with an average age of under 10 years as of 2025. Its fleet primarily consists of Airbus A321s (A321-200s and A321neos) for short to medium-haul routes, and wide-body Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 787 Dreamliners (787-9s and 787-10s) for longer international flights.
Vietnam Airlines offers an extensive route network, encompassing over 20 domestic destinations within Vietnam and 41 international destinations across 23 countries as of November 2025. Its international reach extends across Asia, Europe, Australia, and, more recently, direct flights to the United States, with plans for further expansion into North America, the Middle East, and India. The airline has been a full member of the SkyTeam Alliance since June 10, 2010, which allows it to offer expanded routes and services through its global network of partners. Notable cabin classes include Business Class, Premium Economy Class, and Economy Class. Business Class offers flatbed seats on its Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 aircraft, along with priority ground services, lounge access, and enhanced in-flight amenities. Premium Economy provides upgraded product and service quality, including Lotus Lounge access, priority services, and improved food and beverage options.
