Connectivity on Modern Aircraft
Vietnam Airlines has officially launched in-flight internet service on its international routes as of January 1, 2026. The service is primarily available on select Airbus A350 aircraft, with plans to equip the entire A350 fleet within 2026. Expansion to Boeing 787 and Airbus A321 aircraft is also planned shortly thereafter. While the service is active on international flights, its rollout on domestic routes is pending the standardization of payment methods in Vietnam.
Powered by Viasat and VNPT
Vietnam Airlines' in-flight internet infrastructure is a collaboration with the state-run telecom group VNPT and connects to the U.S.-based Viasat satellite system. This partnership aims to provide stable and secure connectivity during flights. The expected internet speed can reach up to 60 Mbps, supporting activities like messaging, photo sharing, web browsing, and emailing. However, the service is generally optimized for common needs and may not be suitable for high-bandwidth activities such as video streaming.
