Vietravel Airlines Launches Daily Direct Flights Between Hanoi and Shenzhen

Vietravel Airlines launched direct flights between Hanoi and Shenzhen on November 14, 2026, operating one flight daily with a flight time of about 1 hour and 50 minutes. A company representative said the new route would give travelers more direct options between Vietnam and southern China.

This is Vietravel Airlines’ second route to Shenzhen. The airline launched its Ho Chi Minh City–Shenzhen route about three months earlier. With the Hanoi route in operation, passengers can fly directly from Shenzhen to either Vietnamese city, then connect to the airline’s domestic flights to destinations including Da Nang, Nha Trang and Da Lat.

The new route opened ahead of the 2026 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting, which is expected to take place in Shenzhen on November 18–19. A company representative said the direct flights would give business travelers and tourists more options between the two markets. Vietravel Airlines also plans to launch routes to Chongqing and Kunming; if those plans go ahead, its Vietnam–China services are expected to reach nearly 30 flights a week.

Vietravel Airlines is expanding its domestic and international route network and adding aircraft to its fleet. The airline recently put its first owned Airbus A321 into service and signed an agreement with Airbus to purchase 50 new-generation aircraft, including 20 A220s and 30 aircraft from the A321 family. It is also pursuing a brand repositioning expected to be completed in 2027.
