In anticipation of Vietnam's National Day on September 2nd, Vietnam Airlines has strategically augmented its flight schedule to accommodate the surge in travel demand. From August 29th to September 3rd, the airline will introduce an additional 95 one-way flights, adding nearly 7,800 seats across seven popular domestic routes. This represents an 11% increase in capacity compared to the airline's regular operations. The expanded service includes routes from Hanoi to Quang Binh, Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc, as well as from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Phu Quoc.
The decision to increase flight availability during this period is in response to the heightened travel activity typically observed around the National Day holiday. The specific routes that will see increased flights include:
Additionally, Vietnam Airlines announced the resumption of flights to and from Pleiku starting September 1st, following the reopening of the airport. The schedule for flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Pleiku, as well as between Hanoi and Pleiku, has been carefully planned to meet passenger needs effectively:
To celebrate the re-launch of these routes, Vietnam Airlines is offering promotional fares:
Vietnam Airlines is also running the "Each Day, Each Promotion" program to commemorate the 70th anniversary of National Day. This promotion, running from August 20th to December 30th, 2015, features significantly reduced prices on domestic routes, including:
Tickets under this promotion exclude taxes and fees and are subject to specific terms and conditions, including blackout dates during peak travel periods. Interested travelers can purchase tickets through the Vietnam Airlines website or through authorized agents.
The increase in flights by Vietnam Airlines around National Day is indicative of broader trends in domestic travel within Vietnam. According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the number of domestic passengers in 2019 reached approximately 50 million, a 10% increase from the previous year, underscoring the growing demand for internal travel (source: Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam). This trend is expected to continue as infrastructure improves and disposable incomes rise.
Vietnam Airlines' strategic increase in flight capacity and the introduction of promotional fares are aligned with global airline practices to capitalize on significant national holidays, which traditionally see a spike in travel.
By enhancing service availability and affordability around National Day, Vietnam Airlines not only caters to the increased demand but also promotes domestic tourism, supporting local economies across the country.
