Vietnam flights from Gatwick on sale
24.10.11
Vietnam Airlines, the Vietnamese flag carrier, will start flying between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and Gatwick on December 8 and has started selling the non-stop flights on its website ahead of the launch.
The airline will offer two return flights a week, providing the only non-stop services between the UK and Vietnam. It plans to increase frequency to seven flights a week by 2014. A spokesman said the UK had become one of Vietnam's most important trading partners in the European Union, with nearly 90,000 Britons visiting last year, an increase of 28% over 2009. It hopes Vietnam will become a hub for tourists wishing to travel to Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia.
