Etihad Airways, the national airline of the UAE, will launch daily flights to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam’s commercial capital and most populous city, in October.

It will be Etihad Airways’ sixth online destination within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region, joining Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, and Singapore.

In conjunction with its partner airlines, the new Ho Chi Minh City service extends Etihad Airways’ total flight network reach to 21 ASEAN destinations.

The new air services to Ho Chi Minh City are set to meet growing demand from Vietnam’s rapidly expanding economy and will support the country’s increasing commercial ties with the UAE, and in particular Abu Dhabi, Etihad said in a statement.

Flights between Abu Dhabi and Ho Chi Minh City will begin on October 1 and will be served by a two class A330-200 aircraft. The aircraft will have 22 Pearl Business Class seats and 240 Coral Economy Class seats - a total 3,668 seats per week.
