Vietnamese airlines plan to operate over 7,530 domestic flights, offering around 1.5 million seats from April 25 to May 5, to meet rising travel demand during the April 30 - May 1 holiday period.

The new air routes play a key role in strengthening connectivity between Vietnam and China, especially as 2025 marks the 75th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic relations, and the Year of China-Vietnam Humanistic Exchange. They represent an important step forward in fostering aviation cooperation between the two countries, while also providing favourable opportunities for tourism development, trade cooperation, and cultural exchanges between their cities.

This year, civil servants, employees and workers in Vietnam will enjoy a five-day break from April 30 to May 4 on the occasion of the Reunification Day (April 30) and International Workers’ Day (May 1).

A significant portion of these flights will serve routes to and from HCM City, with 5,083 flights (averaging 462 per day), reflecting a 21% increase in both total flights and seating capacity.

The average on-time performance (OTP) across Vietnam’s aviation industry in January 2025 stood at 60%, down 7.7 percentage points from February 2024, when the previous Tet was observed.

During the Tet holiday, Tan Son Nhat International Airport served approximately 1.38 million passengers while Noi Bai International Airport processed around 900,000 passengers, and Da Nang International Airport handled over 381,000 passengers.

Air carriers in Vietnam are significantly increasing the frequency of both domestic and international flights as part of their winter 2024 flight schedule to meet rising passenger demand in the final months of the year.

Vietnamese airlines are bracing for a surge in air travel during the upcoming National Day (September 2) holidays, with flight schedules expanding to accommodate the rush.

Vietnamese airlines have been taking various measures in the face of a fleet contraction triggered by the manufacturer’s engine recall, including adding and replacing aircraft.

In the past six months, Vietnamese airlines have operated nearly 160 international routes connecting Vietnam with countries worldwide, according to a report from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam. The international route network has been restored to pre-COVID-19 levels and continues to expand into new markets in Central Asia, India, Australia, and more.

Though an array of difficulties and challenges remain, the aviation sector of Vietnam has recovered quickly, especially international flights and the number of passengers on these routes.

With summer vacation approaching and travel demand surging, Vietnamese airlines are ramping up capacity, particularly on popular routes connecting to tourist destinations.

Vietnamese airlines have worked hard to implement the net zero emission targets by using new generation aircraft in their operation, which are more environmentally friendly thanks to advanced technologies.

Domestic airfares have been cooling down, with the prices on many routes even halving as compared with those during the National Reunification (April 30) and May Day holidays.

Vietnamese airlines are expected to operate 9,000 flights on domestic routes to meet the travel demand during the upcoming National Reunification Day (April 30) and May Day (May 1) holidays, according to the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV).

The fleets of some Vietnamese airlines are likely to shrink in 2024 and 2025, thus subsequently affecting their transportation capacity on domestic and international routes, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).

Vietnamese airlines have enjoyed better business results on the back of the tourism sector’s strong recovery. However, high oil prices and fierce competition from foreign competitors are among the grave concerns for domestic carriers.

The on-time performance (OTP) rate of Vietnamese airlines reached 85% in the first nine months of this year, lower than the 87.8% rate in the same period last year, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.

The World Safety and Operations Conference (WSOC) will take place in Hanoi from September 19-21 under the theme of “Leadership in Action: Driving Safer and More Efficient Operations”.

Vietnamese airlines are facing difficulties in proposing slot allocations at foreign airports following the COVID-19 pandemic, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) on July 13.
