Accordingly, from 8-13 February, Vietnam Airlines operated nearly 440 flights a day, 90% of which was on-time.

Meanwhile, Jetstar Pacific served 30,000 passengers on 156 flights from the Ho Chi Minh City to Ha Noi. Only several flights were delayed for 29 minutes on average due to objective reasons.

Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific have actively prepared plans and increased resources, as well as strictly reviewed all stages in order to provide the best services for passengers and minimise delays because of subjective reasons.

To meet the increasing travel demand during Tet, the two firms added seven flights (nearly 1,300 seats) between Ho Chi Minh City and Ha Noi from 12-14 February.
