As a result, airfares have not increased, and airlines are also more cautious about increasing the frequency of flights. For this year's peak summer travel period, domestic air carriers provided 16 million seats for domestic flights.
However, airlines are still planning to increase flights, mostly for routes from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, Da Lat, and Quy Nhon, among others.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), airfares have not increased significantly as demand is expected to spread evenly over the next three months of summer.
For the international market, airlines are more cautious about gradually increasing frequency and forecast that the recovery rate for these routes will increase to 80% over the same period in 2019.
Flight routes to two important destinations, China and Russia, have not been able to recover to pre-pandemic levels.
