At present, the airline is still operating one daily flight on the routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to China's Guangzhou and Shanghai.

From October 29, 2023, Vietnam Airlines will increase the frequency simultaneously on many routes to Australia and Europe.

The number of flights between Hanoi and Melbourne will increase from two to three weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays. At the same time, the airline will launch a new direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City to Perth from December 7, 2023, with three round trips per week.

Flights to the U.K. will increase from five to seven flights per week, including four from Hanoi on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays and three from Ho Chi Minh City on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

In addition, the route to Germany will have seven flights per week from the current six, with flights departing from Hanoi daily.

Flights between Ho Chi Minh City and France will increase from three to four flights per week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.
