About Vietnam Airlines

Vietnam Airlines (IATA: VN) is Vietnam's flag carrier, majority state-owned and headquartered in Hanoi. Uniquely among major carriers, VN operates a dual-hub structure, with Noi Bai International Airport (HAN) serving as its primary hub in the north and Tan Son Nhat International Airport (SGN) in Ho Chi Minh City serving the south — a setup that mirrors Vietnam's long, narrow geography and lets the airline efficiently connect both major population centers to its wider network.

From these two hubs, Vietnam Airlines operates an extensive domestic network alongside long-haul international routes to Europe, Australia, and North Asia. As a full member of the SkyTeam alliance, Vietnam Airlines offers seamless connectivity with partners including Delta Air Lines, Air France-KLM, and Korean Air. FareOptic compares Vietnam Airlines fares across all routes to find your best VN ticket price.
