UAE's Emirates to launch new lines to Yangon, Hanoi

Xinhua, February 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

Emirates Airline said here Thursday it will launch daily flights from Dubai to the capital cities of Vietnam and Myanmar in August.

"This new route will strengthen Emirates' network of destinations in Southeast Asia, and offer a new flight option to passengers travelling between Hanoi and Yangon," said Emirates.

Flights on the new route will start on Aug. 3, the state-owned carrier said in a statement.

Hanoi will be Emirates' second passenger destination within Vietnam, complementing the airline's existing passenger service to Ho Chi Minh City, which was launched in 2012, and cargo-only service to Hanoi in 2013. Endit
