ISTANBUL: Turkish Airlines has announced the start of direct flights to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam – routes which operated as connected flights until now.
Turkish Airlines will now operate daily flights to Ho Chi Minh and will fly to Hanoi six days a week (except Sunday). The flights to capital Hanoi will increase to seven days a week in April 2020.
Surrounded by Saigon River, Ho Chi Minh City was added to the flag carrier’s flight network back in December 2010. Located in southern Vietnam, the city serves as the financial capital of the country while boasting the biggest population and highest number of visitors. The city is a popular tourism centre with its pristine skyscrapers, ornate temples and pagodas.
Turkish Airlines first started to fly to Hanoi, one of the oldest capitals of the world, in June 2016. The city offers an unparalleled travel experience with its historical architecture affected by various societies and rich culture. As the trade, cultural and education centre of North Vietnam, Hanoi is also quite close by to Ha Long Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
