This new route strengthens connectivity between Vietnam and Southeast Asia while offering travellers more opportunities to discover some of the region’s most renowned resort destinations.
Operated by an Airbus A321 and carrying about 100 passengers, the inaugural three-hour flight took place in early December.
To celebrate the route opening, Vietnam Airlines held welcome activities at both airports and presented gifts to passengers on the inaugural flight.
The Hanoi to Cebu route is Vietnam Airlines’ first direct link between the Vietnamese capital and the Philippines’ popular tourist destination.
Cebu is celebrated for its pristine island landscapes, rich cultural heritage and diverse travel experiences, from tranquil beach escapes and world-class water sports to vibrant dining scenes and nature adventures.
Flights from Hanoi to Cebu will depart every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Return flights from Cebu to Hanoi will operate every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
“The Hanoi to Cebu service represents more than just a new route. It strengthens cultural and economic connections between Vietnam and the region, creating new opportunities for travel and collaboration,” said Dang Anh Tuan, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines.
“Vietnam Airlines is dedicated to providing safe and high-quality services that promote tourism and foster closer ties between the two countries.”
