First publication: Vietnam National Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, is currently in very advanced stages of operating flights on Hanoi-Tel Aviv. According to information provided by "Israel Today", the company has been researching the issue in recent times, and in recent weeks there has been significant progress on the direct flight to Vietnam's capital.

This is the first time ever a direct flight line between Israel and Vietnam will be launched, a country that has in recent years become a very popular destination for Israeli tourists coming to the East and in general. In the northern part is Hanoi with a host of attractions around it, in the center there are quite a few attractive points and in the south is the bustling and modern city of Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) alongside quite a few popular sites, including the Mekong River.

A few days ago it was posted on various sites around the world that Vietnamese "Bambo" airline is interested in operating direct flights from Hanoi to Tel Aviv, but it is currently unclear how the company will be able to do so due to a limited fleet of aircraft, although the company has two Dreamliner aircraft out of their 19 aircraft and may Because one of them will be assigned to the line to Israel in case the plan is implemented.

At present, Israelis who want to go to Vietnam need to go on a long journey with connecting flights. Direct flights to Hanoi can shorten the arrival time from a minimum of 17 hours to approximately 12 hours when direct flights operate.

The Israeli representative's office declined to comment on "Israel Today".
