The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will launch direct air service between Hanoi and Amsterdam from this June, marking the first direct air connection between Vietnam and the Netherlands, according to a report from the Government News.
The new route will use Airbus A350 aircraft and operate three flights per week between Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
The flight schedule has been designed to provide convenient travel options for European passengers while ensuring smooth onward connections within Vietnam and across Asia.
The route is also seen as a catalyst for deeper economic integration and stronger people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.
The new route is also expected to support economic development and international integration, while enhancing Vietnam's global profile. Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is among Europe's largest aviation and logistics center, serving as a major gateway to North America, Africa, and other regions.
The Netherlands is currently Vietnam's largest trading partner in Europe, with imports from Vietnam exceeding $11 billion in 2025, and is also a major European investor, with total investment capital of around $16 billion.
