Vietnam Airlines to Provide 2 Direct U.S. Flights for Americans

(Bloomberg) -- National carrier Vietnam Airlines JSC will provide flights to San Francisco and Washington D.C. for Americans in early May, according to a posting on the website of the U.S. Embassy & Consulate in Vietnam.

The flights were arranged after most international flights to and from Vietnam were suspended due to the novel coronavirus outbreak.

The first flight is scheduled to leave Hanoi at 9:45 a.m. to San Francisco on May 2 and the second flight will take off from Vietnam’s capital city at 6:20 a.m. to Washington D.C. on May 10, according to the posting. The cost of the one-way tickets will depend on the number of passengers on each plane, it said.

The time and date of flights are subject to change by the airline, according to the posting. Vietnam Airlines did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
