New Flight between Hanoi and Yangon
May 4th, 2010 by Ambrose Bittner
For tourists, Myanamar has mostly been accessible only by flying through Bangkok. However, Vietnam Airlines has started a new non-stop flight between Hanoi and Yangon. It will operate four days a week using Fokker 70 aircraft on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. An Airbus A320 is expected to replace the Fokker 70 in winter 2010-2011 with 5 flights a week.
The roughly 2-hour flight departs Hanoi at 4:10 PM and arrives in Yangon at 6:10 pm. The return flight departs Yangon at 7:10 pm and arrives in Hanoi at 9:30 pm.
This is good news as it now allows Red Lantern Journeys to design trips that combine Myanmar and Vietnam that are logistically simpler.
