Iranian airline Mahan Air has expanded its aviation links with Vietnam through the launch of new flight services. In late August 2026, the airline commenced operations connecting Tehran to Ho Chi Minh City, utilizing Boeing 777-200 aircraft. This route was initially scheduled to operate twice a week.

Following the Ho Chi Minh City launch, Mahan Air established a new connection between Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport and Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport. This service, operating with a frequency of two flights per month, also utilizes wide-body aircraft to address passenger demand and increase air cargo capacity for logistics connectivity between the two markets.
