Lots of airline seats still openAs the Tet holiday draws closer, the Vietnamese aviation industry is scrambling to meet peak demand by increasing the number of flights. In particular, domestic supply reached 3.7 million seats, while international supply was 1.4 million from the beginning of the year to the end of January. Regardless, the CAAV recorded that about 40 per cent of seats were still unsold, especially through online booking. This means up to 49 per cent of seats on domestic flights and 29 per cent on international flights are yet to be taken, despite the seemingly heightened demand. To avoid this, he advised passengers to research information on flights and tickets from airline agencies and websites.
