VN Airlines will open the direct route of Hà Nội–Fukuoka

The flights to Fukuoka, where the third consulate general of Việt Nam is located, will take off on Tuesday and Saturday every week.

The direct route helps to cut travel time to 4 hours and passengers no longer have to transit in Hồ Chí Minh City.

After launching the new route, Vietnam Airlines will lower the number of flights between Fukuoka and Hồ Chí Minh City to 2 from the current 3.

Fukuoka City in the southern prefecture of Fukuoka is the economic and scientific hub of Japan’s Southwestern region.
