UAE-Vietnam travel: Etihad connects Abu Dhabi to Hanoi with six weekly flights
Four new destinations mark Etihad’s busiest week of 2025 so far
ABU DHABI – Etihad Airways has added Hanoi to its fast-growing Asian network, introducing six weekly flights between the UAE capital and Vietnam’s historic northern metropolis.
The new connection marks Etihad’s first-ever direct service to the Vietnamese capital, expanding opportunities for both leisure and business travel.
The Hanoi launch follows a landmark week for the national airline, which inaugurated four new routes in three days – including Tunis (1 November), Hanoi (2 November), Chiang Mai (3 November) and Hong Kong (3 November).

Vietnam’s growing economy and vibrant tourism scene make Hanoi a key addition to Etihad’s Asia strategy.
The route connects travellers from the Gulf and Europe to Vietnam’s historic Old Quarter, Ha Long Bay, and the country’s booming industrial regions, while also welcoming Vietnamese tourists to Abu Dhabi’s cultural and leisure attractions.

Etihad’s Hanoi service not only enhances bilateral trade but also supports Abu Dhabi’s ambition to become the gateway between the Middle East and Asia. With increased seat capacity and enhanced connectivity, the airline aims to boost passenger flows and foster cultural exchange between the two nations.
“Each of these destinations adds its own character to our network – from Hanoi’s vibrancy to Chiang Mai’s charm and Hong Kong’s global energy,” said Antonoaldo Neves, Etihad Airways CEO.
The new routes bring Etihad’s global network to over 85 destinations, offering travellers a growing range of options across Africa, Asia and beyond.
