Finnair has announced its plan to begin seasonal direct flights to Hanoi from Helsinki in 2013 summer. The airline plans 3 flights per week from 14June2013 to 27October2013. With these direct flights, it takes only 5 hours to get to Europe from Vietnam. Earlier, Finnair had established its representative offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon).
Vietnam is an emerging destination for tourism, commerce and investment. With the new flights, it is more convenient for the leisure travellers and the business travellers between the two countries, between northern European countries and Vietnam.
