Daily direct flights from Dubai to Hanoi was launched by UAE’s luxury airliner Emirates this week, saving passengers hours of travel time.
The first direct flight from Dubai arrived in Hanoi after six and half hours at 1 p.m. on Wednesday as Khaleej Times, a UAE’s newspaper wrote.
The non-stop service has been launched less than a year after the airline introduced a service between the cities that transits in Yangon, Myanmar.
The new flight is two and a half hours faster.
Vietnam is not a popular destination among visitors from the UAE, but tourism officials hope the new route will help the country tap this market of big spenders.
Emirates is an airline based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The airline is a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, which is wholly owned by the government of Dubai’s Investment Corporation of Dubai.
