Vietnam Airlines Expands Connections to UK with Daily Nonstop Flights
Vietnam Airlines is increasing her connections to the United Kingdom by offering daily nonstop flights between London’s Heathrow Airport and two Vietnamese airports. This move provides a convenient and efficient connection between the UK and Vietnam. The flights, operated by the airline’s Dreamliners, will take over 11 hours and will avoid flying over China and Russia due to tense relations and international sanctions.
The nonstop flights will operate between London’s Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 4 and the Vietnamese cities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. These overnight long-range flights are made possible by the capabilities of long-range aircraft like the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which can fly up to 7,565 nautical miles. This means that passengers can now conveniently travel between the UK and Vietnam, saving time and avoiding layovers.
The decision to avoid flying over China and Russia was influenced by the current tense relations between Vietnam and China, as well as the international sanctions imposed on Russia due to the ongoing conflict regarding Ukraine. By selecting an alternative route, Vietnam Airlines ensures a smooth and uninterrupted journey for its passengers.
In addition to the nonstop flights between London and Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines also operates a robust long-haul network in Europe. This includes regular flights to Paris and Frankfurt, with the carrier’s busiest routes being to these two cities. Passengers can enjoy the comfort and efficiency of the Airbus A350-900 on flights from Hanoi to Paris, and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner on flights to Frankfurt.
Vietnam Airlines currently operates a fleet of 15 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, including both the 787-9 and larger capacity 787-10 models. The airline also has a fleet of 14 Airbus A350-900s. These modern and fuel-efficient aircraft allow Vietnam Airlines to provide a seamless and comfortable experience for travelers.
With the introduction of daily nonstop flights between London and Vietnam, Vietnam Airlines is making it easier than ever for passengers to travel between these two countries. Whether for business or leisure, travelers can now enjoy convenient connections and a smooth journey. Book your flight with Vietnam Airlines today and experience the best of Vietnamese hospitality.
