The Government has initiated talks with Vietnam Airlines to study the creation of a direct air route connecting Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport with the Asian country.

The proposal aims to establish the first non-stop connection between Spain and Vietnam. The main objective of this initiative is to foster commercial exchange and boost tourist flow in both directions, as indicated by institutional sources during the official trip to Southeast Asia.
Despite the willingness expressed by the parties, the project is in an initial phase. The airline has pointed out that there is a shortage of aircraft capable of covering intercontinental routes due to high global demand in the aeronautical sector.

"Let's see if we can make this direct connection effective, which would be very good for the economy and for boosting tourism."
