This will be the basis for Vietnam Airlines to coordinate with partners to promote two-way tourism, support each other in promoting, marketing and cooperating in aviation products and services.

For many years, the Indonesian tourism market has always been considered the largest in Southeast Asia with the 4th largest population in the world. The total number of air passengers traveling between Vietnam and Indonesia will reach more than 800,000 in 2024, an increase of 61% compared to 2019.
