Vietnam Airlines has expanded supply, including adding about 1,000 seats on European routes, and the Amsterdam line is part of that. Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport is one of Europe's leading hubs, capturing connecting demand not only within the Netherlands but to destinations across Europe.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"index_3\"><strong>Background: airways carry the guests<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Behind the surge in emerging markets, there's always the presence of \"direct flights.\" As guests from Northern and Eastern Europe such as Poland and Sweden grow, a direct link to the Amsterdam hub is effective for drawing visitors from all of Europe.
