The diverted flights include those from Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh City to Paris/Frankfurt/London and vice versa.
A representative of the airline said although the current air routes are far away from the fighting region, Vietnam Airlines decided to adjust the flying routes to ensure safety for passengers.
The carrier will closely monitor the situation and devise suitable flying routes in the coming time.
Meanwhile, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam announced that it has also made adjustments to avoid the area, which have been carried out since early this week.
