Vietnam Airlines is exploring Darwin (DRW) as a potential new destination in Australia. Darwin is the 4th Australian city the airline is looking at.
North America
Vietnam Airlines currently flies to their sole USA destination three times weekly. The airline flies to San Francisco (SFO) from Ho Chi Minh City using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
Los Angeles (LAX) and Seattle (SEA) are the two destinations the airline is exploring to launch flights to.
The airline is also evaluating the launch flights to Vancouver (YVR), marking the airline’s first-ever interest in Canada.
Asia
Vietnam Airlines is looking at three new destinations in Asia. Dubai (DXB) in the United Arab Emirates, Bangalore (BLR) in India, and Dhaka (DAC) in Bangladesh.
This is the first time the airline is looking to expand into Bangladesh and the Middle East. India already sees flights by Vietnam Airlines to Delhi (DEL) and Mumbai (BOM).
India is also a potential market for Vietnam Airlines. This is indicative by the fact that the airline is looking to operate widebody Airbus A350-900/Boeing 787-9 aircraft on its routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Mumbai. Delhi already sees widebody airplanes. Following this success, the airline might be looking to expand in India.
