After more than two decades, Vietnam Airlines will return to Manila with two connections from the Philippine capital city to Vietnam. 

Reported by Aeroroutes, Vietnam Airlines will launch services from both Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Manila this December.

The first of the two routes to be launched – Ho Chi Minh City to Manila – will start on December 1 with a four-times weekly schedule. Services from Hanoi to Manila will then start the following day (December 2) with a three-times weekly schedule.

Vietnam Airlines will use its Airbus A321 aircraft on both routes.
