Vietnam Airlines inaugurated its first nonstop Hanoi–Amsterdam service on 16 June 2026, becoming the first Vietnamese carrier to operate a direct route between Vietnam and the Netherlands. Flight VN83 departed Noi Bai at 3:50 a.m. aboard an Airbus A350, carrying nearly 300 passengers and arriving at Schiphol after over 12 hours. The airline will run three round trips weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, linking two major business gateways with onward connectivity across Europe and Asia. This launch expands Vietnam Airlines’ international network to 12 nonstop routes to eight European cities, including Amsterdam alongside Paris, London, and Frankfurt. The sector now gains a strategic corridor strengthening Vietnam’s global connectivity.
