Vietnam Airlines Opens New Direct Route to China’s Largest Airport- Beijing Daxing

Vietnam Airlines continues strengthening its international network by launching a new direct flight from Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to Beijing Daxing International Airport (PKX) starting March 30, 2025. This strategic move not only enhances travel convenience but also reinforces Vietnam’s connectivity with one of its key trade and investment partners—China.

Seamless Travel for Businesses and Increased Convenience

The new route will operate five times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Sundays, utilizing Airbus A321 aircraft. In addition, Vietnam Airlines is increasing the frequency of its Hanoi-Beijing flights to a daily service, providing more options for business travelers and tourists alike.

With the opening of this route, travelers from southern Vietnam can now reach Beijing directly, reducing travel time and eliminating the need for stopovers. Beijing Daxing International Airport, one of the most advanced aviation hubs in the world, offers seamless connectivity and quick access to downtown Beijing in just 40–50 minutes.
