Vietnam flights start from Gatwick
Vietnam Airlines has launched the first ever direct, non-stop flights between London Gatwick and Vietnam’s two main cities.
The service is operating out of the airport’s newly renovated North Terminal.
It will initially operate four times a week, two to the northern capital Hanoi and two to the larger Ho Chi Minh City in the south.
The airline plans to increase frequency to seven times a week by 2015 with new Boeing 787-900 Intercontinental Dreamliners.
