Airlines increase night flights to meet summer demand
Airlines in Vietnam have increased the number of night flights to meet the increasing demand during summer.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), some airlines still need to lease planes as planned. As scheduled, national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines will receive two planes in June and July, compared to 4-6. Meanwhile, VietJet Air will not receive any planes this year, compared to 4-8 as planned.
Domestic airlines have increased flights in the evening, at night, and early morning amid rising summer demand.
Vietnam Airlines will operate around 5,200 flights at night and in the early morning this summer, up 134 percent against last summer.
The national carrier has offered many attractive discounts to encourage customers to purchase air tickets early. For instance, the airline will offer a 10-15 percent discount to groups of 4-8 passengers.
VietJet Air’s night flights this summer will be increased by 35 percent, concentrating on air routes from Hanoi, HCM City, Danang and Nha Trang to different localities.
VietJet Air has also launched promotional programmes for flights scheduled to depart from September to December.
Bamboo Airways offers a discount of 8 percent for flights between 10 pm and 2 am on the following day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday every week, lasting until the end of 2024.
In the context of the aircraft shortage, Vietnam Airlines has increased the time to use their fleet to 11 hours per day from the previous 10 hours. The time would be raised to 12 hours if necessary.
Vietjet Air has increased the time from 12.8 hours to over 13.2 hours daily for its fleet.
