Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines Unite for Seamless Singapore–Vietnam Connectivity

The skies between Singapore and Vietnam are opening wider than ever.
Starting October 26, 2025, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Vietnam Airlines (VNA) will officially launch a new codeshare agreement — a milestone that promises faster, more flexible, and seamless travel between the two nations.

For travel professionals, this partnership goes far beyond convenience.
It’s a signal of renewed confidence in Southeast Asia’s tourism rebound, a step forward in regional collaboration, and an opportunity to craft smoother itineraries that connect Singapore’s modern gateway with Vietnam’s vibrant destinations.

At Dong DMC, we see this as a defining moment — one that strengthens connectivity, fosters innovation, and inspires travel creators to design journeys without boundaries.

1. What the Codeshare Means: More Options, Greater Flexibility

In today’s fast-paced travel landscape, every minute saved — and every connection made smoother — adds real value for both travelers and the professionals who serve them.

With this newly signed codeshare agreement, the two national carriers have aligned their strengths to create a truly seamless bridge between Singapore and Vietnam.

Under the agreement:

Singapore Airlines (SIA) will codeshare on Vietnam Airlines (VNA) flights between Singapore–Hanoi and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam Airlines (VNA) will codeshare on SIA-operated flights connecting Singapore–Da Nang, Singapore–Hanoi, and Singapore–Ho Chi Minh City.

All services remain subject to final regulatory approvals.

For travel agents and tour operators, this collaboration translates directly into efficiency and opportunity.

One ticket. One check-in. One baggage transfer — yet countless new itinerary possibilities.

With greater flight frequency, synchronized schedules, and flexible booking channels through both carriers, agents can now design multi-destination packages that move effortlessly between Singapore’s world-class hub and Vietnam’s leading cultural and business centers.

Whether you’re managing MICE movements, incentive groups, or premium leisure travelers, this partnership unlocks faster routes, more departure options, and a smoother journey from the moment your clients take off.

2. A Milestone in Regional Aviation Cooperation

This partnership marks more than just a codeshare — it represents a renewed chapter of collaboration between two of Asia’s most respected flag carriers, Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines.

Both airlines share a legacy of premium service, operational excellence, and international recognition, and this agreement strengthens a partnership that has quietly shaped the region’s aviation landscape for years.

By combining their extensive route networks and synchronized schedules, the two carriers are not only expanding flight options but also laying the groundwork for deeper commercial cooperation — from joint marketing efforts to broader ASEAN route integration.

This is not just about connecting airports — it’s about connecting economies, people, and opportunities across Southeast Asia.

💬 As shared by Nguyen Quang Trung, Director of Corporate Planning and Development at Vietnam Airlines:

“This codeshare marks a significant milestone in the ongoing strategic partnership between Vietnam Airlines and Singapore Airlines — one of the world’s most prestigious 5-star carriers. The collaboration leverages the extensive route networks and premium services of both airlines, enhancing connectivity between Vietnam and Singapore while delivering greater flexibility and a more seamless travel experience for passengers.”

For travel professionals, this milestone means more than added convenience — it reflects a long-term commitment to building an integrated regional air system that supports the fast-evolving needs of the tourism and MICE sectors.

At a time when travelers seek smoother, smarter journeys, the partnership between SIA and VNA sets a benchmark for how collaboration can elevate the entire ASEAN travel ecosystem.

3. Voices of Partnership: Shared Vision for Growth

Behind every successful partnership lies a shared purpose — and for Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines, that purpose is clear: to bring Southeast Asia closer together through trust, collaboration, and world-class service.

💬 As emphasized by Dai Haoyu, Senior Vice President of Marketing Planning at Singapore Airlines:

“Our codeshare partnership with Vietnam Airlines is an important step in strengthening connectivity between Singapore and Vietnam. By leveraging our respective networks, we can offer customers more choice, greater flexibility, and seamless transfers across our services between the two countries. This will also support economic growth and tourism in our countries, and deepen the longstanding ties between Singapore and Vietnam.”

This message captures the essence of partnership in modern aviation — one built not merely on shared routes, but on shared vision. It reflects how the two airlines are aligning their ambitions to deliver smoother, smarter, and more sustainable travel experiences across the region.

For travel professionals, this development signals the beginning of a new era of reliability and regional harmony. Two major Asian carriers — each with decades of trust, reputation, and excellence — are coming together to make your clients’ journeys more efficient, and your tour planning more effortless.

In the fast-evolving landscape of global tourism, such collaborations don’t just move planes — they move industries forward.

At Dong DMC, we see this alignment as a powerful reminder that when brands cooperate with a shared mission, travel professionals everywhere benefit from the efficiency, confidence, and innovation that follow.

4. The Benefits for Travel Professionals and Partners

For travel professionals, the true impact of a codeshare agreement lies in what it unlocks — speed, flexibility, and the freedom to design better journeys.

The new partnership between Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines delivers all of that and more, empowering agents, tour operators, and corporate planners to operate with greater confidence and creativity.

✅ Faster Group Coordination
Seamless scheduling and unified ticketing simplify the management of group and incentive movements, ensuring your clients enjoy smooth connections and on-time itineraries every step of the way.

✅ Expanded Product Design
With both airlines now operating under a shared network, it’s easier than ever to combine Singapore with Vietnam’s key destinations — from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi to Da Nang, Hue, and Phu Quoc.

Imagine offering your clients a twin-destination itinerary that blends Singapore’s cosmopolitan energy with Vietnam’s cultural richness — all with one booking flow.

✅ Operational Efficiency
Unified ticketing, baggage transfers, and check-in procedures mean fewer moving parts and less risk of disruption for multi-city or cross-border programs. Your operations team can focus on crafting experiences, not troubleshooting logistics.

✅ Better Inventory Access
Through the combined route network and sales channels of both carriers, agencies gain access to more departure times, higher seat availability, and competitive fare options, improving flexibility for both group and FIT bookings.

💡 Dong DMC Insight:

“Every improvement in connectivity is an opportunity for travel professionals to craft more creative, cross-border experiences. This partnership creates exactly that.”

At Dong DMC, we understand how vital connectivity is to delivering excellence in B2B travel operations. This codeshare is more than just an airline update — it’s a gateway to stronger itineraries, smarter logistics, and more meaningful regional experiences.

5. Strengthening ASEAN’s Tourism Bridge

The new partnership between Singapore Airlines and Vietnam Airlines is more than an operational update — it’s a powerful symbol of how collaboration is shaping the next chapter of travel in Southeast Asia.

Across the ASEAN region, tourism recovery is not just steady — it’s accelerating.
Destinations are reopening with renewed energy, regional carriers are expanding, and travelers are seeking short-haul, multi-country experiences that combine culture, convenience, and connectivity.

In this context, airline alliances play a defining role. By linking their networks, SIA and VNA are unlocking new potential for multi-destination travel programs — the kind that combine the urban sophistication of Singapore with the diverse beauty of Vietnam’s heritage cities and coastal escapes.

For MICE, incentive, and premium leisure travelers, Singapore and Vietnam continue to stand out as one of Asia’s most dynamic twin destinations — a blend of business efficiency and cultural authenticity.

This strategic alignment between two national carriers also reinforces ASEAN’s collective vision: to make the region one of the world’s most connected travel corridors.

As regional skies open wider, partnerships like this bring Asia closer — one codeshare at a time.

At Dong DMC, we see this as a pivotal moment for travel professionals. With better air access, streamlined logistics, and a stronger network of regional connections, agents now have the tools to reimagine Southeast Asia itineraries that are not only faster and smarter, but also more meaningful.
