The MoU establishes a partnership with Vietnam Airlines to enhance route connectivity, offer potential loyalty programme reciprocity, and explore cargo and technical service collaborations, strengthening travel options between the UAE and Vietnam.

Vietnam is a market with several opportunities to boost tourism and trade as a key hub in southeast Asia, and Emirates supports the UAE government’s ongoing efforts to elevate its existing economic ties with Vietnam. Our decades-long cooperation with Vietnam Airlines has enabled us to enhance linkage between Vietnam and Dubai. We are pleased to have the opportunity to elevate this partnership, while establishing a new strategic cooperation with VietJet.
