Vietnamese airlines have made adjustments to their flight schedules to and from Taiwan (China) on October 31 and November 1 due to the impact of Typhoon Kong-rey.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese airlines, including Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, Pacific Airlines, VASCO, Bamboo Airways and Vietravel Airlines, operated a total of 176,307 flights, of which 45,889 were delayed, accounting for 26% of the total figure, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV)'s report.

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.

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

There is no legal basis at the moment to consider proposals related to raising the foreign ownership ratio in aviation transport businesses to 49% of the charter capital, said the government agency.

Many airlines are operating with fewer aircraft than last year coming into the peak summer period as fleets have been reduced to service debt.

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.

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).

VOV.VN - Dinh Viet Thang, director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), has just issued a Directive on compliance and implementation of Alert Service Bulletine for PW1100 engines on the Airbus A321 NEO fleet that is being operated by Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air.
