Vietnam Airlines to Add Evening Departures on Narita/Ho Chi Minh City Route, Serving 12 Weekly Flights
Vietnam Airlines (VN) plans to increase its weekly Narita /Ho Chi Minh City service from seven to 12 during its summer schedule effective from March 28. The airline currently operates seven weekly flights leaving Tokyo Narita at 1030 in the morning. Additional 5 flights are scheduled to depart from Narita at 1930 in the evening.
From Ho Chi Minh City, the new service will depart at 0605 in the morning while the existing service leaves at 0005 past midnight. Aircraft to be put into service will be Airbus A321-200 with a configuration of 16 Business class and 168 Economy class seats. The new service will bring additional 920 seats weekly, one way. The airline meanwhile applied to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) for the following schedule to be approved.
It is highly likely that with the frequency increase this time, Vietnam Airlines counts on passenger-friendly connectivity with its North American route, eyeing the upcoming alliance membership of the SkyTeam.
