Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot to expand cooperation

Vietnam Airlines and Aeroflot have signed an MOU for a strategic cooperation between the two carriers. From 2019, the two airlines will begin codesharing on domestic routes in Vietnam and Russia and expand their cooperation across several areas of the business. This agreement should further expand travel opportunities between Russia and Vietnam, as well as increase passenger volumes and economic and trade activities between the two countries. Vietnam Airlines EVP Trinh Ngoc Thanh said the MOU “takes our cooperation further in the direction of a solid and mutually beneficial partnership.” Vietnam Airlines operates 3X-weekly Hanoi-Moscow Domodedovo services. Aeroflot operates daily Moscow Sheremetyevo-Hanoi services and a 2X-weekly Moscow-Ho Chi Minh City service. <br/>
