Bamboo Airways ranked first for punctuality among local airlines in Q1
VOV.VN - The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has released a report which details the operation of flights on time (OTP) as well as delayed and cancelled flights nationwide during the opening quarter of the year.
The report states that Bamboo Airways leads the industry for punctuality, with the initial three months of the year seeing the budget airline have a punctuality rate of 96.7%.
Following Bamboo Airways in second and third places were Vietnam Airlines and VietJet Air, who recorded average OTP rates at 96.6% and 94%, respectively.
The overall punctuality rate of the entire industry during the same period reached 95.56%.
These figures indicate that some airlines have seen improvements in terms of boosting their punctuality rate, thereby meeting the various travel demands of passengers during peak periods, especially around the Lunar New Year festival.
As the leading local airline for punctuality, Bamboo Airways has initiated plans to open additional routes to better meet passengers’ travel demands in the near future. This includes running flights from Ho Chi Minh City to destinations such as Con Dao, Hue, and Chu Lai, as well as from Can Tho to Hai Phong, Da Nang, and Quy Nhon, whilst reopening the Ho Chi Minh City to Van Don route.
In order to prepare for the upcoming April 30 to May 1 holiday period, Bamboo Airways is scheduled to increase its transportation capacity by 12% to 15%, thereby helping it boost the development of the local tourism industry following a hiatus caused by the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
