Vietnam Airlines is launching direct flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Copenhagen starting December 15, 2025, establishing Vietnam's first air bridge to Scandinavia. Operating three times weekly on Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, the route eliminates the need for stopovers in Tokyo, Bangkok, or Middle Eastern hubs that have historically complicated travel between the regions.
Vietjet Air will resume flights on Con Dao with Chinese-made COMAC C909 jets after a month-long suspension. The airline has secured a six-month lease renewal with Chengdu Airlines to reactivate the aircraft, ensuring their return to service.
Sun PhuQuoc Airways has ordered up to 40 Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets to serve as its backbone fleet. The deal marks the largest Boeing widebody order in Vietnamese history, with Sun Group aiming to expand its fleet to 100 aircraft by 2030.
