Recent Decline in On-time Performance in Vietnamese Aviation Industry
In the month of June, there was a notable decrease in the average on-time performance (OTP) of the Vietnamese aviation industry, dropping to 69.3%, a 12.9 percentage point decrease from the previous month.
Leading the pack in on-time rates was Bamboo Airways with a rate of 88.3%, followed closely by Pacific Airlines and Vietnam Airlines. Bamboo Airways was the sole airline to see an improvement in its on-time performance in June, with a 2.8 percentage point increase compared to May.
Steady Flight Cancellation Rate Despite Challenges
Despite the challenges faced, the overall flight cancellation rate for the industry remained stable in June at 0.5%, mirroring the rate from May.
Government Directive and Industry Response
Early in July, the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam issued a directive to domestic airlines, urging proactive engagement with global aircraft leasing partners to secure additional planes and bolster capacity on domestic and tourist routes.
In response, domestic airlines have taken steps to bolster their fleets to meet the escalating demand for domestic tickets amidst a shortfall in aircraft availability.
Efforts to Expand Fleets and Enhance Operations
Bamboo Airways has acquired three additional A320 aircraft since the start of the year, with plans to expand its fleet to 12 aircraft by 2024.
Vietnam Airlines recently added a new A320 aircraft to its fleet in early July, while Pacific Airlines announced the incorporation of an Airbus A321 leased from Vietnam Airlines into its operations.
Increased Flight Frequencies and Route Expansions
With the fleet expansions, airlines are upping the frequency of both domestic and international flights. Vietnam Airlines is boosting operations on domestic routes like Hanoi - Da Lat, Hanoi – Phu Quoc, Ho Chi Minh City – Thanh Hoa, and Ho Chi Minh City – Chu Lai. Pacific Airlines is concentrating on routes linking Ho Chi Minh City with Hanoi, Da Nang, and Chu Lai.
Bamboo Airways intends to heighten frequencies on current routes and recommence some domestic routes such as Ho Chi Minh City - Da Lat, Ho Chi Minh City - Thanh Hoa, and Ho Chi Minh City – Phu Quoc. The airline is also contemplating resuming international routes like Ho Chi Minh City – Bangkok (Thailand) to cater to the rising travel demand.
