Etihad Airways has announced its plan to begin daily direct flights between Ho Chi Minh City and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in October next year.

The Abu Dhabi-based airline said the service to Ho Chi Minh City is meant to meet the growing demand from Vietnam’s rapidly expanding economy and will support the country’s increasing commercial ties with the UAE, especially Abu Dhabi.

It will be Etihad’s sixth destination in the region after Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Singapore.
