2026, the airline will operate four weekly direct flights connecting Mumbai and Hanoi. The launch marks Akasa’s strategic expansion into Southeast Asia, strengthening connectivity across the region’s most vibrant travel and trade corridors. Bookings for flights are now open on Akasa Air’s website www.akasaair.com, Android and iOS app and through multiple leading OTAs.
Renowned for its centuries-old heritage, distinctive architecture, and celebrated culinary traditions, Hanoi has steadily emerged as a favoured destination among Indian travellers. The introduction of direct connectivity will support the travel momentum and the expanding economic and cultural exchange between India and Vietnam.
Anand Srinivasan, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, added “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.”
With this addition, Akasa Air continues to enhance travel options for Indian travellers while offering a seamless and dependable gateway to one of Southeast Asia’s most compelling capitals
