Expanding Southeast Asian Network
Vietnam Airlines will launch a direct Hanoi-Cebu service on December 1, 2025, its first non-stop to the city. It will operate three times weekly aboard Airbus A321 aircraft, strengthening its presence in Southeast Asia.
Cebu: A Gateway to Culture and Coastlines

Shortened Travel Times
With a three-hour flight, the new service reduces the 6– to 8–hour transfer to a seamless check-in, eliminating long layovers. Passengers experience Vietnam Airlines’ 4-star comfort and efficiency from start to finish.
Propelling Demand on Both Sides
The route is expected to boost demand, attracting Filipino visitors to Vietnam and providing Vietnamese travellers with direct access to the Philippines’ islands and study opportunities.
Strengthening Regional Connectivity
Mr Dang Anh Tuan, Executive Vice President of Vietnam Airlines, noted:
The Hanoi–Cebu route is a clear testament to our commitment to expanding regional air connectivity, offering passengers greater convenience and exceptional service quality.
Vietnam Airlines currently operates nine weekly flights to Manila and will increase to 12 weekly services across the Philippines with this new addition. This expansion marks a milestone as the airline celebrates 30 years of connecting people, cultures, and economies in 2025.
