Accordingly, flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Paris (France), Frankfurt (Germany), and London (the UK) will avoid airspace over conflict-affected regions of the Middle East. This rerouting is expected to extend flight times by approximately 15 minutes and will incur additional operational costs.
Despite these challenges, to ensure its commitment to prioritising safety above all else, the carrier will maintain the adjusted routes until tensions ease.
Passengers planning travel to or from Europe during this period are advised to stay updated by checking the airlines’ website at www.vietnamairlines.com and Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/vn.VietnamAirlines, or by contacting its customer care hotline at 1900 1100.
