Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad, has expanded its international network with the launch of Vietnam Airlines’ new direct service to Hanoi. The new route marks the airline’s entry into Gujarat and establishes Ahmedabad as Vietnam Airlines’ fifth passenger destination in India.
The inaugural flight departed from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad, on November 3, 2026, creating a new direct air link between Gujarat and Vietnam. The new service will operate four times a week, every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, providing travellers from Ahmedabad and neighbouring markets with direct access to Hanoi and onward connections across Vietnam Airlines’ wider domestic and international network.
The launch of the Ahmedabad-Hanoi service by Vietnam Airlines marks another milestone in Ahmedabad Airport’s expanding international connectivity. The new connection is expected to support tourism, business travel and trade while strengthening Gujarat’s links with international markets.
H.E Trinh Minh Manh, Ambassador of Vietnam to India, said: “The launch of the Ahmedabad–Hanoi direct service by Vietnam Airlines is a very much welcome development in strengthening India–Vietnam connectivity. Improved air links will further boost tourism, trade, business exchanges and people-to-people ties, thus further strengthening the Enhanced Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between our two countries.”
Spokesperson, Ahmedabad International Airport Limited (AIAL), said: “We welcome Vietnam Airlines to Ahmedabad and are pleased to support the commencement of this new international service. The Ahmedabad-Hanoi connection will offer travellers greater choice and convenience while contributing to the growth of international connectivity from Gujarat. We look forward to working with Vietnam Airlines and Aeroprime Group to support the route’s development and enhance the airport’s international network.”
Vietnam Airlines Spokesperson, Nguyen Trung Hieu, Country Manager, India, said: “The launch of our Ahmedabad–Hanoi service reflects Vietnam Airlines’ continued commitment to the Indian market and our ambition to make Vietnam more accessible to Indian travellers. Gujarat offers considerable potential across leisure, business and MICE travel. This new route will provide travellers with a convenient direct connection to Hanoi, while enabling access to Vietnam’s diverse destinations and our wider international network. We appreciate the support of Aeroprime Group and our airport partners in bringing this new service to Ahmedabad.”
Abhishek Goyal, Executive Director & CEO, Aeroprime Group, said: “The inauguration of the Ahmedabad-Hanoi service marks another important milestone in Vietnam Airlines’ expansion in India. Ahmedabad is a commercially significant market, with strong business activity and growing interest in international travel. As the airline’s Passenger GSA in India, Aeroprime Group has been working closely with Vietnam Airlines to develop its market presence and expand its network across the country. With Ahmedabad becoming the fifth Indian station, we look forward to driving awareness and demand for this new service and strengthening air connectivity between Gujarat and Vietnam.”
