Vietnam Airlines to add more flights to South Korea, Japan amid rising travel demand
The addition forms part of the airline’s strategy to strengthen connectivity in high-demand international markets by increasing frequencies on existing routes and offering passengers greater flexibility in flight schedules.
From Hanoi, the airline will raise the frequency of its Hanoi – Taipei (Taiwan) route from seven to 11 flights per week.
The Hanoi – Osaka (Japan) route will also see 11 flights per week, from seven, between Oct. 26 and Nov. 30, before increasing to 14 from Dec. 1, equivalent to two daily services.

The airline is also expanding its Northeast Asia network from Da Nang. Since July 1, the Da Nang – Seoul route has operated 14 weekly flights. Frequencies on the Da Nang – Tokyo (Japan) and Da Nang – Osaka (Japan) routes increase to 11 and five flights per week, respectively.
The increase in flight frequencies comes as demand for travel between Vietnam and Northeast Asia remains robust. The region continues to be one of Vietnam Airlines’ most important international markets, serving a broad range of travel purposes, including tourism, investment, trade, family visits and people-to-people exchanges.
According to the National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance, South Korea was Vietnam’s second-largest source of international visitors in the first half of 2026, with more than 2.16 million arrivals.
Japan and Taiwan also remained key markets, sustaining stable two-way passenger flows between Vietnam and Northeast Asia.
