The airline’s representative said on 11 September that flights aim to meet demand of Vietnamese passengers travelling to Japan for study and work.

Accordingly, flights will depart from Hanoi for Tokyo at 11:45pm on 18, 25, 30 September and leave Ho Chi Minh City at 0am on 30 September, using Boeing 787 - the largest wide-body and most modern aircraft of the carrier.

The airline is building a plan to resume flights to the Republic of Korea, China, Taiwan (China), Laos and Cambodia in the near future.

Earlier from June, Vietnam Airlines conducted several one-way flights between Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City and Seoul in the RoK and Frankfurt in Germany.

Many of its aircraft were also upgraded to carry cargo instead of passengers to help it through the pandemic crisis.
