Saudia and Vietnam Airlines have entered into a codeshare agreement aimed at improving air connectivity between Vietnam and Saudi Arabia. The partnership enables travellers to book flights through either airline for routes linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with Jeddah and Riyadh, including segments operated by the other carrier.
The arrangement is expected to provide passengers with additional travel options between Southeast Asia and the Middle East, while also facilitating easier itinerary planning and bookings across both airline networks.
Arved von zur Muehlen, Chief Commercial Officer at Saudia, stated: "We are looking forward to deepening our relationship with Vietnam Airlines. This codeshare agreement underscores Saudia’s commitment to offer more destinations to guests to explore and enhance connectivity, securing a seamless travel experience, being both members of SkyTeam. By collaborating with the esteemed national carriers, we continue to expand our global network, aligning with our strategic objectives to foster economic growth and cultural exchange."
Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning & Development at Vietnam Airlines, said: "We are delighted to partner with Saudia to strengthen our global network and offer our customers more choices for travel to the Middle East. This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing exceptional service and seamless international connections.”
He added: “As members of the SkyTeam alliance, this partnership allows us to offer our passengers the benefits of a broader global network and enhanced frequent flyer program options, along with an opportunity to experience the rich culture, heritage, and unique cuisine of Vietnam.”
The agreement also supports broader strategic goals in both countries. For Saudia, it contributes to efforts to improve international connectivity and aligns with Saudi Arabia’s National Transport and Logistics Strategy, which aims to connect the Kingdom to more than 250 destinations and attract 150 million visits annually by 2030.
