Dubai's Emirates airline has announced the expansion of its operations in Vietnam by adding a second daily flight between Dubai and Ho Chi Minh City from January 15, 2025.
Originally planned for February 1, 2025, this additional flight is strategically timed to meet the surge in demand around the Lunar New Year festival, which falls on January 29, 2025.
The new service demonstrates Emirates' commitment to the Vietnamese market as it prepares to serve the growing interest in international travel to and from the city.
Emirates says the new flight will further improve air connectivity for both the city and its neighboring regional hubs, streamlining travel and opening up new opportunities to boost both tourism and trade.
The new flight, EK364, is scheduled to depart Dubai at 04:00 and land at Tan Son Nhat International Airport at 13:55 local time starting January 15, 2025.
Its return counterpart, EK365, will depart Ho Chi Minh City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport at 6:25 p.m. and arrive at Dubai International Airport at 10:55 p.m. on the same day.
Operated by Emirates' Boeing 777-300ER, the second daily flight features a two-class configuration with 42 business class seats and 386 economy class seats.
With a network of over 140 destinations worldwide, Emirates currently operates daily flights from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh to Dubai and beyond.
