Delta Air Lines and Vietnam Airlines are enhancing their codeshare agreement to add Delta codes to all Vietnam Airlines flights between Tokyo and Hanoi starting on Feb. 12.

The enhanced codeshare agreement will allow customers on Delta’s flights from Minneapolis and Los Angeles to Tokyo-Haneda to connect to the Vietnam Airlines’ flights from Haneda to Hanoi. Once all Delta’s Tokyo flights consolidate at Haneda on March 29, all Delta customers from Atlanta, Detroit, Seattle, Portland, Honolulu in addition to Los Angeles and Minneapolis, can connect to Vietnam Airlines’ Hanoi flights at Haneda. Vietnam Airlines will also add their codes to all Delta flights to/from Haneda.

“This is going to be a transformative year for Delta in Japan as we consolidate our services in Haneda next month,” said Perry Cantarutti, Senior Vice President-Alliances, Delta Air Lines. “The partnership with fellow SkyTeam member Vietnam Airlines, further strengthens Delta’s position in Haneda as the largest U.S. airline, while enhancing connectivity between the two countries.”

Delta and Vietnam Airlines codeshare will operate on the following schedule:

Route	Delta Flight #	Vietnam Flight #	Departs	Arrives	Aircraft	Frequency
Haneda-Hanoi	DL9236	VN0385	4:35 p.m.	9 p.m.	A350-900	Daily
Hanoi-Haneda	DL9237	VN0384	8:40 a.m.	3:05 p.m.	A350-900	Daily

Delta commenced a one-way codeshare agreement with Vietnam Airlines in 2010, when the airline became a member of SkyTeam, adding Vietnam Airlines’ codes on the Delta-operated flights between Tokyo-Narita and the U.S. gateways and U.S. domestic flights. Since the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration granted Vietnam a Category 1 rating under the angecy’s Internatioanl Aviation Safety Assessment program in 2019, Delta becomes the first U.S. carrier to place code on a Vietnamese carrier.
