Starting Dec. 15, the airline will operate three weekly round-trip flights on the route using its wide-body Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

Flights will depart from HCMC every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, while return flights from Copenhagen will be available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The route launch announcement on Wednesday coincided with the signing of four key agreements between Vietnam Airlines and Danish partners to strengthen ties in tourism and aviation.

One of the documents features strategic cooperation with Greater Copenhagen Connected, focusing on joint tourism promotion and the development of the Nordic market.

Meanwhile, the carrier’s memorandum of understanding with Copenhagen Airport highlights infrastructure utilization, service-quality enhancement and coordinated implementation of joint promotional campaigns.

The carrier and Albatros Travel, a Danish tour operator, agreed to collaborate on developing two-way tourism products aimed at increasing the number of Danish visitors to Vietnam while expanding outbound flows from Vietnam to the Nordic region.

Additionally, a tripartite cooperation framework was established between Vietnam Airlines, Saigontourist and Nordic Travel to expand package tours and enhance customer experience.

Pham Thi Nguyet, Vietnam Airlines’ director of marketing and product sales, said that Copenhagen, one of Northern Europe’s leading economic and tourism hubs, serves as a gateway to the wider Scandinavian region, including Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

Nguyen Tien Hoang, head of Vietnam Airlines’ branch in France and Europe, affirmed that the HCMC-Copenhagen route is a key step in completing the carrier’s European network. Copenhagen will be an important gateway to connect the economy, culture and politics between Vietnam and destinations in Northern Europe.
