Vietnam Airlines said it will raise the Hanoi–Moscow route frequency from three to four weekly flights starting July 1, 2026. In addition to services on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, the carrier will add a Sunday flight using a wide-body Boeing 787.
The airline said the adjustment will be implemented flexibly in line with market developments to meet rising travel demand and maintain air connectivity between Vietnam and Russia.
Market data cited by Vietnam Airlines show that in 2025 the number of Russian visitors to Vietnam reached about 690,000, nearly three times the previous year. The first two months of 2026 recorded about 246,000 visitors, three times the same period last year.
The airline also noted that the total number of air passengers between the two countries has surpassed pre-pandemic levels.
Nguyen Quang Trung, Deputy General Director of Vietnam Airlines, said the airline would continue to closely monitor market developments to operate its flight plan accordingly while ensuring air safety standards. He added that adjusting frequencies on international routes helps maintain operational efficiency and connectivity on key markets.
Vietnam Airlines currently operates 11 direct routes linking Vietnam with Europe using wide-body fleets of Airbus A350 and Boeing 787. From June 16, 2026, the airline is expected to inaugurate the Hanoi–Amsterdam direct route, continuing to expand its network in Western Europe.
The increase in Hanoi–Moscow flight frequencies, together with expanding the European network, reflects the airline’s approach to maintaining and developing key international routes, supporting trade, tourism and international integration.
