Following an agreement signed recently between the airline and authorities in the northern province of Hung Yen at the presence of Deputy PM Vuong Dinh Hue, fresh longan will be served to business-class and premium-class passengers on Vietnam Airlines’ 70 international and domestic flights departing from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.


Deputy general director of Vietnam Airlines, Le Hong Ha said that this was part of the airline’s efforts to introduce local specialities to foreigners.

"Hung Yen longan is one of Vietnam's popular specialities which we want to introduce to foreign friends," Ha said. "This is also a way to help local farmers sell their produce."

In June, Vietnam Airlines also sourced fresh litchi from gardens meeting the VietGAP standards in the northern province of Bac Giang’s Luc Ngan district to introduce on their flights.

From Pho noodle soup to seasonal fruits, Vietnam Airlines are combining its four-star services with Vietnam’s culture when expanding its network worldwide.

Vietnam Airlines have maintained its four-star rating by Skytrax for two consecutive years. Skytrax also placed Vietnam Airlines among 20 carriers offering the world’s best premium economy class experience in 2017.
