Thai Vietjet sticks to domestic tacticsThai Vietjet Air will fly only seven of 11 jets in its fleet this year. Thai Vietjet hopes to spur the domestic market by adding five new domestic routes in the second half of the year, but is halting fleet expansion this year because of uncertainty from the outbreak. While Thai Vietjet services only domestic routes, she said the number of passengers in July increased about 10% compared with the last two weeks in June. With the industry hit hard by the pandemic, Thai Vietjet is one of several local airlines requesting long-overdue soft loans from the government. In May, Thai Vietjet carried more than 20,000 passengers and the airline aims to have 3 million passengers this year.
