Vietnam Airlines will introduce its first-ever nonstop flights between Vietnam and Denmark on 15 December 2025, linking Ho Chi Minh City and Copenhagen with three weekly flights operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The route will operate year-round and marks a significant addition to the airline’s expanding European network.
In 2024, around 74,800 passengers travelled between the two countries via connecting flights, typically through Doha, Paris, or Istanbul. The direct route is expected to improve connectivity and support growing economic ties. Vietnam was Denmark’s 50th-largest trading partner in 2023, with bilateral trade reaching DKK10 billion, according to the Danish Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Copenhagen becomes Vietnam Airlines’ seventh destination in Europe, following new routes to Munich and Milan, and the recent resumption of service to Moscow. The new route also strengthens the SkyTeam alliance’s presence in Northern Europe, following Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) joining the alliance. While no codeshare exists yet between Vietnam Airlines and SAS, the new service may pave the way for future cooperation.
