Scandinavian Airlines and Vietnam Airlines announced a new codeshare agreement that will connect Scandinavia and Vietnam more closely than ever before, officials said.

The partnership, formed between two SkyTeam members, is designed to enhance travel convenience, expand connectivity, and offer passengers the ability to earn and redeem SAS EuroBonus or LotusMiles points across both networks. Ticket sales are expected to start in early July.

The agreement will allow passengers to book itineraries that include segments operated by either airline through a single reservation, making travel between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and the Scandinavian capitals Copenhagen, Stockholm, and Oslo more flexible and efficient. SAS has been ranked as the most punctual airline in both Europe and the world.

The announcement was made at the Vietnam–Sweden Business Forum, held in connection with the official visit of Prime Minister of Vietnam Pham Minh Chinh to Sweden, and in the presence of Sweden’s Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dousa.
