The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has considered adjusting the parameters at Noi Bai International Airport (from 37 flights/hour to 42 flights/hour during the day) in April and adjusting the parameters at Tan Son Nhat International Airport on some peak days during the April 30-May 1 holiday (from 44 flights/hour to 46 flights/hour during the day) immediately to serve the travel needs of people during this time.

Previously, a report by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam noted that the aviation industry is facing a shortage of aircraft due to engine manufacturers recalling aircraft engines for inspection and repair; a global shortage of human resources due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing a shortage of materials, spare parts and prolonged periodic maintenance; challenges of high input costs; sharp increases in aircraft rental prices, maintenance and repair services, etc. This has affected the supply load as well as the recent increase in airfares.
