Vietnam Airlines, the flag carrier of Vietnam, is pleased to announce a significant upgrade to its service on the Mumbai (BOM) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) route. The airline will now deploy modern wide-body aircraft, including the state-of-the-art Boeing 787 and Airbus A350, to meet the growing demand for travel between India and Vietnam.
