Mumbai To Hanoi In One Flight: IndiGo Announces Daily Direct Service

For travellers in Mumbai planning a Vietnam holiday, getting to Hanoi is about to become considerably easier. IndiGo will launch daily nonstop flights between Mumbai and Hanoi from October 25, 2026, adding another direct connection between India and Vietnam at a time when interest in the Southeast Asian destination continues to grow.

The new route will also strengthen IndiGo’s existing Vietnam network. The airline already operates daily direct flights to Hanoi from Delhi and Kolkata, and the addition of Mumbai means more travellers from western India can reach the Vietnamese capital without having to factor a connecting flight into their plans. The service is expected to cater to both leisure and business travellers, making Hanoi more accessible for holidays, work trips and longer Vietnam itineraries.

Morning Arrivals Matter

The Mumbai-Hanoi service will operate as flight 6E 1637. It will depart from Mumbai at 4:15 am and arrive in Hanoi at 10 am, giving passengers most of the day to settle in and begin exploring the city. The return service, flight 6E 1638, will depart Hanoi at 7:05 pm and arrive in Mumbai at 11:05 pm.

The timings could also work well for travellers looking to make the most of a short break. Arriving in Hanoi in the morning means there is little need to lose a day to travel, while the evening departure on the return leg leaves much of the final day open for sightseeing, shopping or a leisurely meal.

Hanoi itself makes a compelling starting point for a Vietnam trip. The capital brings together centuries-old architecture, bustling neighbourhoods, historic landmarks and a food culture that ranges from steaming bowls of pho to street-side favourites. Beyond its cultural appeal, the city has also grown into an important commercial centre, making the new connection relevant to corporate travellers as well.

A Premium Option

IndiGo will also make its IndiGoStretch offering available on the Mumbai-Hanoi route. The business-class product is designed for travellers seeking a more premium experience, with wider seats, additional legroom, deeper recline and adjustable headrests.

Passengers travelling in IndiGoStretch can also expect complimentary hot meals, in-seat charging and priority services. Its availability adds another option for those travelling to Hanoi for business, as well as leisure travellers willing to pay for greater comfort on the journey.

The introduction of the service comes as IndiGo continues to expand its international network, particularly across destinations in Southeast Asia. Vietnam has become an increasingly popular choice among Indian travellers, with its mix of cities, beaches, heritage sites, cuisine and nature making it suitable for everything from quick urban breaks to longer multi-city holidays.

More Vietnam Connections

For travellers from Mumbai and other parts of western India, the biggest advantage of the new service is straightforward: Hanoi can now be reached directly. The route removes the need for a stopover and could make planning a Vietnam holiday considerably simpler, particularly for travellers connecting into Mumbai from other Indian cities.

The service also adds another layer to the growing air connectivity between India and Vietnam. With direct flights already linking Hanoi with Delhi and Kolkata, IndiGo’s Mumbai service expands the airline’s reach across three major Indian gateways.

Tickets for the new flights can be booked through IndiGo’s official website and mobile app, as well as its AI-powered chat assistant 6Eskai and authorised travel partners. With daily flights beginning October 25, travellers planning a Vietnam getaway later this year will have another direct option to consider when building their itinerary.
