Vietnam Airlines operates four round trips per week on the Ahmedabad–Hanoi route. Flights are scheduled every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
The service uses Airbus A321 aircraft and offers direct connectivity between the two cities.
The addition of Ahmedabad also expands Vietnam Airlines' Indian network to five destinations: Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad. The airline operates seven routes connecting India and Vietnam through its Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City networks.
The new route reflects growing travel and business connections between India and Vietnam.
Ahmedabad is an important commercial centre in Gujarat, with demand for international leisure travel, business visits and trade-related journeys. The direct service makes it easier for travellers from Gujarat and neighbouring regions to reach Hanoi without an intermediate flight connection.
Vietnam is also becoming an increasingly popular international destination among Indian tourists. According to Vietnam News Agency reports, the country welcomed more than 670,000 Indian visitors during the first nine months of 2026, representing a 33% increase compared with the same period in 2025.
The new flight route is expected to support this growing demand while encouraging more Vietnamese visitors to explore Gujarat and other parts of India.
Travellers arriving in Hanoi can explore the capital or use onward connections to discover other popular destinations across Vietnam.
Hanoi is known for its historic architecture, traditional markets, street food and cultural attractions. Visitors can explore Hoan Kiem Lake, the Old Quarter and the Temple of Literature.
Ha Long Bay is one of Vietnam's best-known natural attractions. Travellers can enjoy boat cruises, limestone landscapes, kayaking and scenic coastal experiences.
Da Nang is popular for its beaches, modern attractions and access to the Marble Mountains and nearby Hoi An. It is a good option for travellers looking for a combination of relaxation and sightseeing.
Ninh Binh is famous for its limestone mountains, rivers, caves and countryside scenery. Visitors can explore Trang An and Tam Coc through scenic boat rides.
Ho Chi Minh City offers a different experience with its busy markets, museums, historic landmarks and vibrant food scene. Travellers can explore the War Remnants Museum, Ben Thanh Market and nearby attractions.
The Ahmedabad–Hanoi direct flight offers several advantages for passengers from Gujarat and neighbouring regions.
Direct international connectivity: Passengers can travel between Ahmedabad and Hanoi without a connecting flight.
