Vietnam’s aviation industry needs to improve to keep up with the global market as flights resume following the pandemic, Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan said on May 24.

VOV.VN - Ho Chi Minh City hosted a press conference on April 2 to introduce "Vietnam International Aviation Expo - VIAE 2022" which is scheduled to take place from September 15 to September 19.

Vietnam’s aviation industry is targeting about 43 million passengers in 2022, including eight million international tourists, or around 50% of pre-pandemic numbers, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.

VOV.VN - Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi welcomed its first international flight operated by Singapore Airlines at noon of March 15, signaling the reopening of the nation’s borders to tourism from aboard and the wider recovery of the tourism and aviation industry.

The Vietnamese aviation industry is currently ready in all aspects to operate the entire international flight network like before the COVID-19 outbreak, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has told Deputy Transport Minister Le Anh Tuan.

VOV.VN - After nearly two-year hiatus of international flights, with exceptions for returning citizens and foreign experts, the country’s aviation industry is facing its worst crisis amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry of Transport has issued a decision on scrapping the general aviation business licence No. 01/2018/BGTVT-VT granted to Globaltrans Air Service JSC.

The Vietnamese aviation market is predicted to begin recovering by the middle of the third quarter with this year’s total estimated capacity of over 70 million passengers.

VOV.VN - The Vietnamese aviation industry continues to take the brunt of three global waves of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, with the industry forced to cut ticket prices to stimulate demand, leading to airlines facing unprecedented consequences and losses in the peak season.

Although the aviation industry was ravaged by the COVID-19 pandemic, logistics companies at airports still maintained operations.
