Vietnam to launch the first private helicopter service

By the end of October 2025, tourists can once again experience the excitement of private helicopter services in Vietnam, which have continued to evolve and grow in availability over the years.

This service is a result of the collaboration between Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), a subsidiary of Vietnam Airlines Corporation, and Azur Helicopter, the leading French helicopter company renowned for its commitment to safety and innovation in aerial transport.

Travelers can conveniently charter a helicopter, such as the Eurocopter AS350 B2, to fly from Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City to popular destinations in southern Vietnam. Specifically, the flight to Phan Thiet takes approximately one hour, while the journey to Vung Tau only requires around 35 minutes. Each helicopter can accommodate up to four passengers, alongside two pilots.

Not only is this service a convenient and time-saving mode of transportation, but a private helicopter experience also provides tourists with an unforgettable adventure. From the air, passengers can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of Vietnam’s stunning landscapes, making it an optimal opportunity for stunning photography.
