Direct flights from Ha Noi to Lijiang are operated by Bamboo Airways using modern Airbus A320NEO aircraft, suitable for traveling between major cities in Vietnam and key markets in Asia. Expected frequency of flights is 3  flights/week. Flight time is about two hours.

“We hope that the operation of round-trip flights between Ha Noi and Lijiang will meet the travel needs of people in the two cities, as well as contribute to promoting cooperation in many fields between the two countries. This is also a solid foundation for Bamboo Airways to proceed to exploit regular direct flights between Vietnam and China in the future,” said a representative of Bamboo Airways.

China is the largest trading partner, the largest import market and the second largest export market of Vietnam. On the other hand, Vietnam is China's sixth largest trading partner and largest partner in the ASEAN region. China is always in the top of source markets of Vietnam tourism.
