ʻO ka hoʻohui ʻana o Vietnam Airlines i Skyteam - i hoʻomalu ʻia e Air France-KLM, Delta Air Lines, a me Korean Air - e hoʻoikaika i ke kūlana o ka hui ma Asia hikina hikina. ʻO ka hoʻomaka kūhelu o ka moku lawe moku ʻāina ʻo Vietnam e hiki mai i Iune e hiki mai ana. He hana lōʻihi ia me Vietnam Airlines e noʻonoʻo ana i ke koho o ke komo ʻana i kahi kuikahi a hiki i 2000 me nā kūkākūkā e hoʻomaka koʻikoʻi a puni 2006/2007.

"Ua mākaukau mākou e like me ko mākou manaʻo i kēia manawa 'like' me kā mākou mau hoa e hiki mai ana ma ke ʻano o ka huahana, pūnaewele, a me nā pono like. ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka hihia ma mua, "wahi a Mathieu Ripka, ka luna kūʻai kūʻai a me ke kūʻai aku o Vietnam Airlines ma Farani.

Ke hoʻomākaukau nei ʻo Vietnam Airlines i kona komo ʻana ma ka hoʻonui ʻana i kāna mau alapine a me nā lawelawe. E hoʻohana ʻo Skyteam i nā hub ʻelua o Hanoi a me Ho Chi Minh City e hiki i ka hapa nui o Asia. "Hāʻawi ʻo Ho Chi Minh City iā mākou i kahi kūlana maikaʻi loa i Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, a i ʻole Australia, ʻoiai ʻo Hanoi he ʻīpuka kūpono i Kina a i ʻole Laos," wahi a Ripka. ʻIke ʻia ʻo Indochina he mākeke nui no nā huakaʻi ʻEulopa.

ʻO Vietnam Airlines kahi ʻupena kūloko kūloko ma Vietnam me nā mokulele he nui i kēlā me kēia lā ʻaʻole wale ma waena o Hanoi a me Saigon akā mai nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua a hiki i Danang, Hue, Dalat, Haiphong, a i ʻole Nha Trang. "Hoʻopiha pū mākou i kēlā mau ala me nā mokulele ʻāpana i nā kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi me kā mākou mau'auwaʻa o ATR," wahi a ka luna kūʻai aku ʻo Vietnam Airlines. Ua hoʻomohala ʻia ka mokulele i nā makahiki i kona mau ala Trans-Indochina e hoʻopili ana i nā kūlanakauhale kapikala a i ʻole nā kahua hoʻoilina honua āpau o ka ʻāina, i kēlā me kēia manawa me ka ʻelima mau kuleana kūʻokoʻa. Ua hana ʻia kahi pass, e hāʻawi ana i ka maʻalahi i ka poʻe huakaʻi e lele mai Hanoi a i Siem Reap a mai Siem Reap a i Luang Prabang. ʻO ka hoʻohui hou loa i kēia ala Trans-Indochina ʻo ia ka wehe ʻana i ka mahina ʻo Malaki o ʻehā mau mokulele mai Hanoi a i Yangon ma Myanmar.

E like me ka wehe ʻana o Yangon, ke hoʻomaka nei ʻo Vietnam Airlines i kahi ala hou i Shanghai mai Hanoi a e hoʻonui i kona mau alapine i Paris mai ʻehiku a ʻeiwa mau mokulele i ka pule. "A laila hiki iā mākou ke hāʻawi aku ma ʻEulopa i nā kaapuni hui ʻo Hanoi + Shanghai," i haʻi aku ai iā Ripka.

Ke kūkulu nei ʻo Vientam Airlines i kāna mau mea hana ma Hanoi a me ke kūlanakauhale ʻo Ho Chi Minh. Ua pōmaikaʻi ka mokulele mai kahi kikowaena hou ma Saigon i wehe ʻia i ʻelua makahiki i hala. Hāʻawi ka mokulele i kahi lumi hoʻokipa nui i waena o nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ma Hanoi, e hoʻomau ʻia ana ke kūkulu ʻana no ka hoʻonui ʻana i ke kikowaena o kēia manawa me Vietnam Airlines a me kāna mau hoa Skyteam e neʻe aku i hoʻokahi hale i ka wā i pau ai ka lua.
