Hanoi (VNA) - The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) hasproposed the resumption of normal operations on all domesticroutes from the beginning of 2022.

According to the proposal submitted to the Ministry of Transport, the number of two-way flights onHanoi – Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi – Da Nang, and HCM City – Da Nang routes will beincreased to 16 per day per route during December 1-14, and to 20 per day per route from December15-31. Meanwhile, the number of two-way flights on other routes will be no morethan nine flight per day per route.

The CAAV also proposed adjusting regulations on transferringpassenger information from the PC-COVID application directly between theMinistry of Information and Communications and localities. Airlines do not needto transfer passenger destination information to the local authorities.

With this proposal, localities can update passenger information by themselves every 30 minutes from the PC-COVID application.

The current flight plan is only applicable until November30, so airlines would have difficulty in planning their operations in thewinter 2021/2022 flight schedule, especially during the Lunar New Year of 2022,the agency said.

At present, most domestic routes can only operate oneflight per day./.
