Experts said the figures demonstrate the great efforts by the domestic airlines given the impact of new infections in the northern provinces of Hai Duong and Quang Ninh ahead of the Lunar New Year (Tet) festival.
During the period, the domestic airlines operated 20,944 flights, representing a month-on-month increase of 7.4 percent.
Vietjet Air conducted the highest number of flights among domestic carriers, with 7,881. It was followed by national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines (6,725), Bamboo Airways (4,008), Jetstar Pacific (1,640), Vasco (518), and Vietravel Air (172).
Despite the impact of COVID-19, the Hanoi-HCM City route remained one of the world’s busiest domestic routes.
It is ranked second globally, with 1.085 million passengers in February, just behind the Jeju-Seoul Gimpo route in the Republic of Korea, according to a report released in February by OAG, a global travel data provider headquartered in the UK.
Ensuring the safety of flights, passengers, airport staff, and crew members remains the top priority of the airlines./.
