    (11/09/23)
         Vietnam Airlines has unveiled plans to launch nonstop
    flights between Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) and Perth, Australia.

    Scheduled to take off on 7 December 2023, the
    airline will operate the route with thrice weekly flights using
    Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

    Flight VN791 is slated to depart from Ho Chi
    Minh (Saigon) at 17:50 every Monday, Thursday and Saturday,
    arriving in Perth at 23:05.

    Flight
    VN790 is scheduled to leave Perth at 00:50 every Tuesday,
    Friday and Sunday, arriving back in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) at 06:10 the
    following day.

    In addition to an extensive inflight entertainment
    system, service highlights include an unique inflight menu infused with
    rich Vietnamese flavors and a wide selection of
    Vietnamese coffee.

    “Securing this new direct flight between Vietnam and Perth opens
    up an abundance of opportunities between the two countries and
    represents a whole new inbound visitor market for Western
    Australia’s industry, tourism and hospitality sectors-supporting
    jobs and boosting the economy,” said Roger Cook, Western Australia Premier.
    “The flights further
    cement out important airlinks within the South East Asia region,
    who we have a strong relationship and track record with, and my
    Government is very proud of this progress and the growing
    opportunities in the future.”

    Not only is Perth the capital and largest city of Western
    Australia, there are also about 300,000 Vietnamese
    people living and working there.

    Before COVID, Vietnam was Perth’s
    10th largest international market and the second largest market
    without direct flights from Perth. Perth is also the third
    largest market in Australia for Vietnam.

    With the new nonstop Ho Chi Minh – Perth
    route, Vietnam Airlines will be operating 23 round-trip flights
    per week between Vietnam and Australia, with an average of three
    flights per day.

    Vietnam Airlines will serve a total of 5 nonstop
    services to Australia including: Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh –
    Melbourne; Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh – Sydney and Ho Chi Minh –
    Perth.

    All flights are operated by modern wide-body aircraft
    Airbus A350 or Boeing 787.
