Noi Bai Airport expected to see record passenger traffic during five-day holiday
VOV.VN - Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi is anticipated to serve a daily record of 96,000 passengers and 580 flights during the upcoming five-day break to mark National Reunification Day (April 30) and International Labour Day (May 1).
This estimated number of passengers will rise by approximately 20% compared to the same period last year but it is yet to break the record set during last summer’s peak season, said a representative of the management of the airport.
Noi Bai is the largest international airport in northern Vietnam, with a design capacity of serving between 20 and 25 million passengers per year or between 55,000 and 69,000 passengers per day.
To avoid overloading during peak hours, the airport has recommended that passengers arrive at the airport two hours before departure for domestic flights and three hours before departure for international flights in order to complete all the necessary procedures.
Airport authorities have asked passengers to make use of public transport in a bid to avoid heavy traffic.
Passengers are also advised to strengthen COVID-19 prevention measures, including wearing masks and taking disinfection practice as suggested by the Ministry of Health.
