Latest News About Vietnam Airlines

Vietnam Airlines’ latest notable news is that it is cutting domestic capacity from April 1 because of surging jet fuel costs, including suspending seven domestic routes and reducing some services by up to 23 flights per week.[1][3]

What changed

The airline said the cuts are tied to fuel shortages and high global fuel prices, and that it is prioritizing routes seen as important for national connectivity.[3][1]

Routes affected

The reported suspended routes include Hai Phong–Buon Ma Thuot, Hai Phong–Cam Ranh, Hai Phong–Phu Quoc, Hai Phong–Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City–Van Don, Ho Chi Minh City–Rach Gia, and Ho Chi Minh City–Dien Bien.[1]

Other recent updates

Vietnam Airlines’ official site also lists a recent notice about selected international terminal changes dated March 19, 2026. Route-industry coverage also shows the carrier has been planning new long-haul expansion, including nonstop Vietnam–Netherlands service and Vietnam–Denmark flights later in 2025/2026.[4][5]

Context

This comes as broader aviation fuel pressure has also pushed other Vietnamese carriers to trim capacity, suggesting the issue is affecting the market more widely than one airline.[3]
