The first flight will leave Hanoi on June 22 for Washington D.C. with a stop in Alaska before returning to Vietnam 2 days later. Vietnam Airlines is currently the only airline in Vietnam licensed by the US Transportation Security Administration to fly to the US.
Wide-body aircraft like Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 will be used for the flights, and strict anti-COVID-19 measures will be applied to ensure health safety.
Last year, Vietnam Airlines conducted 20 flights between Vietnam and the US.
