Akasa Air to launch direct Mumbai–Hanoi flights from September 4
Akasa Air has announced the launch of direct flights between Mumbai and Hanoi, marking its entry into Vietnam and expanding its international network to seven destinations.
The airline said it will operate four weekly non-stop flights on the Mumbai–Hanoi route starting September 4, 2026. Bookings for the new service are now open across its website, mobile applications, and online travel platforms.
The move signals Akasa Air’s expansion into Southeast Asia, as it looks to strengthen connectivity between India and key regional travel and trade hubs. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, has seen rising demand among Indian travellers due to its cultural appeal and growing tourism links.
Flight schedule and operations
Akasa Air will operate the route four times a week, offering direct connectivity between the two cities.
The airline said the new route will support growing economic and cultural exchanges between India and Vietnam, while offering more travel options for passengers.
Akasa Air currently operates flights to 26 domestic and seven international destinations and has carried over 26 million passengers since its launch in August 2022.
“The launch of direct flights to Hanoi strengthens our presence in South Asia and marks another step in our effort to build a network that connects India with dynamic global destinations. Vietnam has emerged as one of the most attractive short-haul destinations for Indian travellers, known for its accessibility, vibrant tourism offerings, and rich cultural heritage. We are confident that travellers will appreciate the enhanced connectivity, backed with the reliable and warm service that defines the Akasa experience,” said Anand Srinivasan, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer.
