Emirates heading for Vietnam
Emirates will add Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam to its global network from June 4.
The launch of a daily service follows the signing of an air services agreement between Vietnam and the UAE in April last year.
Emirates Airline president Tim Clark said the new route would offer tourists and business travellers, particularly from the Middle East, Africa and Europe, a convenient option to access Vietnam.
Emirates will use an Airbus A330-200 in a two-class configuration on the route to HCMC, the airline’s 124th destination.
From October 2, the service will be operated by a Boeing 777-300 ER in a two-class configuration.
Ho Chi Minh City will be the Emirates’ eighth route launch in 2012, following on from Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro on January 3; Dublin on January 9; Lusaka and Harare on February 1; Dallas on February 2 and Seattle on March 1.
