HANOI: This year’s summer marks the peak season for Vietnam’s aviation sector, presenting a dynamic and more promising outlook than ever before.
Impressive recovery figures for international routes, along with newly launched strategic partnerships with foreign airlines, are gradually shifting Vietnam’s aviation industry away from an intensely competitive domestic market towards the more profitable international segment.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, in the first half of this year, the entire market served 41.3 million passengers, representing a 10% increase compared to the same period last year.
Notably, the international market accounted for 23 million passengers, up by 13%, while the domestic maintained a steady 7% growth with 18.4 million passengers.
Airports Corp of Vietnam (ACV) chief accountant Nguyen Van Nhung observed that the international segment has nearly fully recovered.
Major markets such as China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan (China), South-East Asia, India and Australia have all demonstrated stable growth.
This robust recovery provides a solid foundation for ACV to continue investing in infrastructure upgrades and improve service quality across 22 airports nationwide.
ACV currently manages nine international airports and 13 domestic airports, delivering security, ground services, passenger assistance, and flight operations support for most domestic and international carriers.
The strong rebound in international travellers not only boosts ground service revenues but also generates vital investment resources to address infrastructure bottlenecks – from congestion at major airports like Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat to upgrading facilities at popular tourist gateways such as Cam Ranh and Phu Quoc. — Viet Nam News/ANN
