VOV.VN - Korean Air has identified Vietnam as its most important market in Southeast Asia, operating flights to five Vietnamese cities and serving over 2,000 passengers and hundreds of tons of cargo daily, the airline announced at a press briefing in Hanoi.
Speaking at the event on October 14, Kyoung Hee Kang, Korean Air’s Regional Manager for Vietnam, highlighted that the carrier currently operates more routes to Vietnam than to any other Southeast Asian country. These include services to Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Da Nang, Cam Ranh (Nha Trang), and Phu Quoc - the latest addition to its network, launched in late 2023.
Following the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Korean Air resumed flights to Da Nang and Cam Ranh in 2022 and has since strengthened its Vietnam operations.
In the first half of 2025 alone, the airline transported 374,788 passengers between Vietnam and the Republic of South Korea, representing a 4% year-on-year increase. The Ho Chi Minh City–Seoul route remains the busiest, while services from Phu Quoc and Cam Ranh have posted the fastest growth this year.
“Vietnam is among our most vibrant and high-performing markets in Southeast Asia, attracting a diverse mix of tourists, business travelers, and transit passengers through Seoul,” said Kang.
Korean Air’s Incheon hub continues to serve as a major transit point for Vietnamese travelers heading to North America and Japan. The airline, in partnership with Delta Air Lines, offers connections to over 290 destinations in the US via 15 gateway cities. It also connects Vietnam to 14 cities in Japan, including regional centres like Aomori, Nagasaki, and Kumamoto.
Beyond passenger services, Vietnam has become a major cargo stronghold for Korean Air. The airline’s Hanoi operation is now its largest cargo hub in Southeast Asia, with 11 freighter flights per week moving an estimated 50,000 tonnes of goods in 2024.
In Ho Chi Minh City, Korean Air operates three weekly freighter flights and transports additional cargo via its daily passenger services, handling approximately 16,000 tonnes of exports last year.
The RoK is a crucial partner for Vietnam’s tourism and economy. It was the second-largest source of international arrivals to Vietnam in the first nine months of 2025, contributing 3.2 million of the country’s 15.4 million foreign visitors. The RoK is also among Vietnam’s leading sources of foreign direct investment, according to the Ministry of Finance.
