Emirates has signed two Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with Vietnam Airlines and VietJet, aimed at strengthening connectivity and offering more travel choices between Dubai and its Vietnam.
“Enhancing our cooperation with like-minded partners like Vietnam Airlines and VietJet is integral to our core commercial strategy to better connect customers across points beyond our own network,” said Adnan Kazim, deputy president and chief commercial officer at Emirates.
Emirates’ MoU with Vietnam Airlines sets the framework to expand the current cooperation in place which began with a bilateral interline cooperation in 1994.
“The cooperation allows us to unleash the combined power of our networks as Vietnam Airlines seeks to leverage our international presence and provide our passengers with enhanced flexibility and convenience,” said Nguyen Chien Thang, Vietnam Airlines’ executive vice president.
Also signed was an MoU between Emirates and VietJet which will aim to further enhance connectivity to popular destinations in VietJet’s domestic and regional network via Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City.
Vietjet chief executive officer Dinh Viet Phuong commented: “This agreement expands VietJet’s global presence, attracts more visitors to Vietnam, fosters sustainable growth, and enhances cultural exchange. We believe this collaboration will have a positive, lasting impact on both nations and the international aviation industry.”
Emirates has served the Vietnamese market since 2012.
