From December 1, 2025, VNA will open a direct flight route from Hanoi to Cebu.

From December 1, 2025, Vietnam Airlines will officially launch a direct flight from Hanoi to Cebu (Philippines) with a frequency of 3 flights per week using Airbus A321 aircraft.

This is VNA's first direct flight connecting Vietnam with the famous coastal city of Cebu, marking an important step in the strategy of expanding the flight network in the Southeast Asia region.

Cebu is known as the "island paradise" of the Philippines with its turquoise waters, long white sand beaches and rich marine ecosystem. Besides the natural landscape, Cebu is also a historical and cultural center, home to many ancient architectural works, and is also a gateway to explore other famous destinations such as Bohol, Mactan or Malapascua. With a flight time of only about three hours from Hanoi, passengers can enjoy a short, experience-rich vacation conveniently and easily.

Adding Cebu to its network not only provides another attractive option for Vietnamese tourists, but also affirms Vietnam Airlines ' pioneering role in connecting ASEAN countries, contributing to promoting tourism, trade and cultural exchange between the two countries.

The flight route between Hanoi and Cebu is expected to attract a steady flow of passengers in both directions. From the Philippines, tourists and businessmen come to Vietnam for sightseeing and work. In the opposite direction, more and more Vietnamese passengers choose Cebu and the Philippines for travel , study or work.

Flights between Hanoi and Cebu will be operated regularly by Airbus A321 fleet, meeting international 4-star aviation service standards. Passengers no longer have to transfer for 6 to 8 hours, but only need a direct flight of 3 hours, with baggage checked only once, saving time and bringing peace of mind for the journey.

On this occasion, Vietnam Airlines is offering many special promotions. Round-trip Economy Class tickets start from VND5,664,000, Business Class from VND24,440,000, including taxes and fees. Customers who buy tickets early until February 28, 2026 for departures from December 1, 2025 to February 28, 2026 will enjoy this preferential price. In addition, passengers will receive an additional free piece of luggage, while Golden Lotus members will receive an additional 1,000 to 2,000 bonus miles depending on the class of seat.

Currently, Vietnam Airlines is operating 9 regular flights per week from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Manila. The addition of 3 direct flights per week from Hanoi to Cebu increases the total number of flights operated by Vietnam Airlines between Vietnam and the Philippines to 12 flights per week. This not only expands the flight network, but also gives passengers more options when traveling to the Philippines, while demonstrating Vietnam Airlines' role in connecting the region and promoting Vietnam's image to the world.
