Vietnam Airlines is increasing flight frequencies to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan (China) as demand for tourism, business travel and family visits between Vietnam and Northeast Asia continues to strengthen. The additional services provide passengers with more flexibility while reinforcing the airline’s commitment to improving regional connectivity.
The expanded schedule supports growing travel demand across leisure, corporate, trade and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) segments. It also forms part of Vietnam Airlines’ wider international growth strategy for 2026.
More flights from Hanoi and Da Nang
From Hanoi, Vietnam Airlines will increase flights to Taipei from seven to 11 weekly services. Meanwhile, flights between Hanoi and Osaka will rise from seven to 11 weekly services between October 26 and November 30, 2026. From December 1, 2026, the route will operate twice daily with 14 weekly flights.
The airline has also expanded services from Da Nang. Since July 1, flights between Da Nang and Seoul (Incheon) have increased to 14 weekly services. In addition, services to Tokyo (Narita) now operate 11 times per week, while Da Nang–Osaka (Kansai) flights have increased to five weekly services.
These schedule enhancements offer travellers more departure choices while strengthening links between Vietnam and key destinations across Northeast Asia.
Promotional fares available until July 31
To celebrate the expanded services, Vietnam Airlines is offering promotional round-trip fares starting from VND 7,724,000, including taxes and fees, for the Hanoi–Taipei route. Round-trip fares for Hanoi–Osaka start from VND 14,660,000.
Tickets must be issued by July 31, 2026. Travel on the Hanoi–Taipei route is valid until July 31, 2026, while eligible travel on the Hanoi–Osaka service is available through December 31, 2026.
Furthermore, Lotusmiles members will receive bonus miles based on their booking class.
Northeast Asia remains a key growth market
Northeast Asia continues to rank among Vietnam Airlines’ strongest international markets. Demand remains robust across leisure, business, investment and VFR travel.
According to Vietnam’s Ministry of Finance, South Korea became Vietnam’s second-largest international source market during the first half of 2026, welcoming more than 2.16 million visitors. At the same time, Japan and Taiwan continue to generate steady two-way passenger traffic, reflecting stronger tourism, business and people-to-people connections across the region.
Part of a wider international expansion strategy
The latest frequency increases form part of Vietnam Airlines’ broader international network expansion.
Earlier in 2026, the airline launched new direct services to Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Phuket in Thailand and Colombo in Sri Lanka. As a result, Vietnam Airlines continues to strengthen Vietnam’s global air connectivity while supporting tourism, trade and economic cooperation with key international markets.
By expanding its international network, the airline aims to meet rising passenger demand and provide travellers with greater convenience across its growing route network.
