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.

The Vietnam-based SkyTeam airline last operated flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Manila until November 2001.

Vietnam Airlines will be the lone Vietnam-based carrier to operate flights to the Philippine capital. The market is currently served by Philippine-based Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific with flights to both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi.Cebu Pacific will launch flights to Da Nang on December 7.
