With this event, Vietnam Airlines has become the first Vietnamese airline to be allowed to operate regular direct flights to the US, the country with the most stringent legal procedures and aviation security regulations in the world.

This is one of the most complex and important conditions that foreign airlines need to meet in order to be licensed by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to operate directly flights to this country.

Vietnam Airlines is scheduled to conduct its first regular commercial direct flight to the US at the end of this month.
