According to the airport, they may receive up to 94,000 passengers including 57,000 domestic and nearly 37,000 foreign on the busiest day of the holiday. This would be an 18 percent fall in domestic passengers and a slight increase in foreign passengers compared to the same period last year.

The airport will tighten security during the holiday, and passengers are advised to arrive at the airport at least two hours before flight time for domestic flights and three hours for international flights. People who pick up or see off passengers will not be permitted entry.

Passengers can call the airport at 0389166566 for service quality reports and 0243 5842627 for security problems.

Due to shortages in the number of aircraft resulting from airlines restructuring their fleets, and engine maintenance, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has requested airlines to consider increasing capacity on routes from Hanoi to HCM City to other localities, especially on April 27-28 and May 1-3, ensuring compatibility with infrastructure and security and flight safety.

Vietnamese airlines are expected to provide around 900,000 seats on domestic routes, especially on routes between Hanoi and HCM City.

As many as 657,000 seats and 3,400 flights will be offered on routes from Hanoi and HCM City to localities nationwide, up 4.2 percent in seats, and 5.5 percent in flights compared to the same period in 2023, respectively.

Airlines have also been granted adjusted slots at airports across the country to help optimise flight schedules and extend the operating time of aircraft fleets, especially evening and nighttime slots.
