Air India to start Delhi-Ho Chi Minh City flights from June 1

Air India will start direct flights from the national capital to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam from June 1.

The airline will use A320 neo aircraft with a two-class configuration to operate the flights five days a week -- Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, according to a release on Wednesday.

The flights will commence from June 1.

''The new service will also enable convenient one-stop connections to Vietnam via Delhi for travellers from the US, Canada, UK, and Europe,'' the release said.

Currently, Air India flies non-stop flights to Singapore, Bangkok and Phuket (Thailand), and Yangon (Myanmar).
