Vietnam Airlines launches Hanoi-Fukuoka direct route
On October 9 the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines opened a direct route linking Hanoi and Fukuoka City in Japan’s southern Kyushu Island.
Accordingly, the airline will operate two flights every Tuesday and Saturday using Airbus 320 planes. The price for a single ticket will be USD523 while a 14 day return ticket will cost USD567.
The route will help to reduce the travelling time between the two cities to 4 hours.
Vietnam Airlines Deputy General Director Trinh Hong Quang said that the launch of the direct flight between the two cities is part of Vietnam Airlines’ plans to finalise its network of routes to Japan’s major markets in a bid to gradually turn Vietnam into a regional transport hub, using Hanoi and HCMC as main gates.

The new route will bring the total number of direct flights from Vietnam to Japan to 40, of which, 24 are operated by Vietnam Airlines, while the remainder are joint ventures with Japan.
