According to CAAV, to meet the rising demand and on the basis of the infrastructure capacity of the Tan Son Nhat International Airport, it requested Vietnamese airlines to allocate resources for extra night flights to ease congestion at airports during daytime hours, especially strengthening the exploitation of night flights departing from Tan Son Nhat International Airport to others.
By now, the airlines have planned to operate night flights to 12 local airports during the period from January 6, 2023, to February 5, 2023 (the 15th day of the last lunar month and the 15th day of the first lunar month of 2023).
