China has always been one of Vietnam's key tourism markets. In 2024, the Chinese market began to recover after a long period of impact from COVID-19. According to statistics from the Vietnam National Tourism Administration, the number of Chinese tourists visiting Vietnam in the first nine months of the year reached 2.7 million, a growth of 141.4% compared to the same period last year.

Currently, the airline operates 5 regular routes to China, including routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to major cities such as Guangzhou, Beijing, and Shanghai.

In the coming period, Vietnam National Airlines plans to continue increasing the frequency of scheduled flights, opening new routes, and increasing the use of wide-body aircraft to supplement capacity in the context of strong market demand growth.

In addition, the company will cooperate with agencies and partners in both countries to develop programs promoting new destinations in Vietnam to Chinese tourists, while also introducing potential destinations in China to Vietnamese people.
