What This Means for Indian Travelers:
Bengaluru and Hyderabad are two of India’s fastest-growing tech hubs with a high demand for both business and leisure travel. With a short flight time of only 4 to 5 hours, these direct connections offer a smoother way to explore iconic destinations in northern Vietnam like Hanoi, Ninh Binh, and Sa Pa — places that are increasingly popular with Indian tourists.
Prior to these new routes, Vietnam Airlines already operated direct flights between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Delhi and Mumbai, having served over 240,000 passengers across more than 1,600 flights between the two countries.
