Vietnam Airlines became the first Vietnamese airline to fly a nonstop scheduled route to the US when one of its Boeing 787-9 aircraft landed in San Francisco (SFO) on Nov. 28.
The flight, which originated in Ho Chi Minh City (SGN), marked the beginning of Vietnam Airlines’ scheduled service to the US, which the airline said it has been working to establish for two decades.
The SkyTeam member will fly 2X-weekly between SGN and SFO. Both Boeing 787-9 and Airbus A350 will operate the route, the airline says.
“The airline aims to increase to seven flights per week after the COVID-19 pandemic is under control,” Vietnam Airlines said in a statement.
The carrier also has future plans to fly from both SGN and Hanoi (HAN) to (LAX), although no date has been given for the launch of those routes.
