Vietnam Airlines: An extension of Vietnam's international reach

Resolution No. 59-NQ/TW identifies international integration as one of the key strategies to enhance the country's position in the new development stage. In that context, Vietnam Airlines, as the National Airline, is not only an air transport enterprise but also a leading messenger connecting Vietnam with the world, promoting international exchange and cooperation in many fields.

National aviation - Driving force for tourism growth and integration

In 2025, Vietnam Airlines aims to launch and restore 15 international routes connecting Vietnam with strategic markets such as Italy, Russia, Denmark, China, India, Japan, Korea, UAE... This is not only a step to expand the flight network but also a strong commitment of Vietnam Airlines in realizing the goal of welcoming 22 to 23 million international passengers in 2025.

As of June 2025, the airline has launched 5 new routes to Beijing, Bangkok, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Busan; and restored 4 international routes to Moscow, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong. Along with that, Vietnam Airlines continuously increases the frequency of key routes to meet the strong increase in demand from major tourism markets such as China, Korea, India, Germany, Thailand, Singapore, etc.

Not only bringing international tourists to Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines also contributes to deepening economic - trade - investment links with global partners, playing a core role in the green and sustainable growth strategy based on tourism, services and global connectivity.

In addition, Vietnam Airlines has accompanied tourism management agencies, localities and travel companies, proactively organized and participated in a series of international fairs such as VITM, ITB (Berlin), BIT (Milano), WTM (London)..., directly promoting the image of the country, culture and people of Vietnam to friends around the world. Vietnam Airlines' flights not only carry passengers, but also carry the story of a dynamic, hospitable and potential Vietnam.

At the event celebrating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Vietnam Airlines Corporation, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh also shared: Vietnamese Airlines, especially the National Airline - Vietnam Airlines, fly to where, land where, that is the soft border, that is our connection with international friends, that is the connection of transportation, that is the connection of two economies, cultural connection, people-to-people exchange, tourism development, so we must fly higher, reach further, spread across the five continents and four seas. We must develop a modern, green Vietnam Airlines, build a cultural identity of Vietnam Airlines based on a foundation of the core identity of Vietnamese national culture - that is the constant striving, steadfastness, courage, intelligence, intelligence, very humane, very friendly, very precious feelings, national love, compatriotism.

As an “extended arm” of the tourism and cultural diplomacy industry, Vietnam Airlines is becoming an important factor in the national branding strategy, enhancing Vietnam’s image in the international arena.

Digital transformation - Leverage to enhance experience and international integration

Constantly innovating to reach global standards, Vietnam Airlines has implemented a series of digital transformation initiatives, aiming to become a 5-star digital airline. The airline has pioneered the application of biometric authentication technology throughout the process, cooperated with Amadeus IT Group, FPT to apply artificial intelligence (AI), process automation (RPA) and joined hands with VNPT to deploy wifi services on wide-body aircraft from 2025.

Notably, Vietnam Airlines is the first airline in Vietnam to be recognized as an Advanced E-commerce Carrier by the international organization SkaiBlu. With a DAS Level 4 index - on par with Singapore Airlines, Qatar Airways, Emirates - Vietnam Airlines has entered the group of airlines with the world's leading digital capabilities.

Based on its global flight network capacity, modern technology system and role as the National Airline, Vietnam Airlines is acting as a strategic bridge, expanding the "soft border" for Vietnam through tourism, diplomacy, trade, investment and cultural exchange.

Each flight is a mission to bring Vietnam closer to the world, helping our country not only attract tourists but also attract opportunities for multi-disciplinary cooperation and development, making an important contribution to Vietnam's deep and steady integration in the new era.
