ANA launches Hanoi-Haneda air route

An All Nippon Airways of Japan (ANA) plane landed at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport on March 30, kick-starting a weekly direct air route between Hanoi and Haneda (Tokyo).

The plane NH857, departing from Haneda at 08.45am and arriving in Hanoi at 11.55am, brought 208 passengers to Hanoi.   

The return flight coded NH858 left Hanoi for Haneda at 02.00pm with 180 passengers on board.

This is the second air route ANA has opened in Vietnam, after the Hanoi-Narita (Tokyo) route launched in 2001.

The new air route aims to expand ANA’s flight network between Vietnam and Japan, said ANA Vietnam Director Ryoichi Fujisaki.
