Akasa Air announced it will launch direct Mumbai–Hanoi flights from September 4, 2026, marking its entry into Vietnam. The airline plans to run four weekly services on the route, aiming to boost travel demand and improve connectivity between India and Southeast Asia as Hanoi and Vietnam attract more Indian travellers.

The move signals Iran’s phased reopening of its airspace after weeks of travel disruption, as the country gradually restores global air links by reopening major airports across the country.
