National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, budget airline Vietjet Air and newcomer
Bamboo Airways have expressed desire to fly to the US. There are currently no
non-stop flights between the two countries, despite a large market catering to
tourism and visits by friends and relatives.
Travellers looking to visit the country need to connect in other Asian nations
such as China and Japan.
Data of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam showed the country’s rapidly
growing aviation market saw traffic increase 16 percent on average each year
from 2010 to 2017.
Vietnam currently does not hold an FAA rating.
Category 1 means air carriers from a country may initiate or continue service to the US and take part in reciprocal code-share arrangements with US carriers.
