Vietnam Airlines has inaugurated nonstop services between Hanoi and Amsterdam, the first Vietnamese carrier to operate a non-stop route connecting Vietnam and the Netherlands.
The inaugural flight carried nearly 300 passengers aboard flight VN83 from Noi Bai International Airport on 16 June, operated by an Airbus A350. VN82 in the opposite direction departed Amsterdam at 2pm.
Vietnam Airlines will operate three round-trip flights per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays using Airbus A350 aircraft. The new route provides a direct air link between the two capitals, while offering passengers greater convenience and seamless onward connectivity across Europe and beyond.

“The inauguration of the Hanoi–Amsterdam service reflects Vietnam Airlines’ continued commitment to expanding its international network and strengthening Vietnam’s connectivity with key global markets,” said Nguyen Quang Trung, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines.
“This new route not only offers Vietnamese travellers more convenient access to Europe, but also facilitates greater travel to Vietnam for international visitors. As the national flag carrier, we will continue investing in service excellence and network development to meet evolving customer demand and further reinforce our role as an air bridge linking Vietnam with the world.”
The new route also strengthens Vietnam Airlines’ presence in Europe. With the addition of Amsterdam, Vietnam Airlines now operates 12 nonstop routes linking Vietnam with eight major European destinations: Paris, London, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan, Copenhagen, Moscow and Amsterdam.
From 1 July 2026, Vietnam Airlines will increase the frequency of its Hanoi–Moscow service from three to four round-trip flights per week to accommodate growing travel demand between Vietnam and Russia.
