Air Canada plans Ho Chi Minh City service in 2027

Air Canada intends to add scheduled service to Ho Chi Minh City in 2027, the carrier said, a route that would be possible under an expanded air transport agreement between Canada and Vietnam.

The airline said it will work with the relevant authorities to complete the approvals and procedures needed to launch the connection. The flights remain subject to regulatory clearance.

Air Canada has not said which Canadian airport it would serve, how often the flights would operate, or what aircraft would be used. The expanded agreement was announced during a state visit to Canada by Vietnam's party and state leader, Tô Lâm.
