National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines on December 16 officially launched its first direct flight between Ho Chi Minh City and Danish capital, Copenhagen.
This move creates the only nonstop route currently available between the two countries, representing a significant milestone in Vietnam Airlines’ international expansion strategy and establishing a vital air bridge between Southeast Asia and Northern Europe.
The inaugural flight departed Tan Son Nhat International Airport at 22.45 on December 15 and landed safely at Copenhagen Airport after more than 12 hours of flight time. On the return leg, the flight departed Copenhagen at 22.50 local time on December 16 and arrived in HCM City later the same day.
The HCM City–Copenhagen service will operate three times a week. Flights depart HCM City on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, while return flights leave Copenhagen on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.
The new route is expected to significantly improve connectivity between Vietnam and Denmark. It is also anticipated to support the continued growth of Nordic visitors to Vietnam, which has increased steadily in recent years.
