The carrier’s current flights to Europe do not fly over Iran and Iraq, however, Vietnam Airlines decided to adjust the routes to ensure safety for passengers.
A representative of the airline said the adjustment could prolong flight duration and will last until tensions subside.
Meanwhile, passengers travelling from/to Europe are advised to update information on the airline’s website www.vietnamairlines.com, its Facebook page and the hotline 1900 1100.
