Vietjet has expanded its fleet with four wet-leased aircraft to meet the high travel demand during the Lunar New Year peak season.
The addition of four wet-leased aircraft, including pilots and flight crew, will cater to the needs of customers and enhance capacity during one of Asia’s largest holidays.
The Vietnamese government has approved a seven-day Lunar New Year holiday break from February 8 to 14 – this period will see workers from major cities and industrial hubs returning to their hometowns for family reunions, as well as an increase in holiday-goers visiting tourist destinations.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), there will be approximately 33,800 flights from January 24 to February 25 operated by Vietnamese airlines, during this peak travel period. This represents a 14 per cent increase compared to the previous year and a 21 per cent increase compared to the current regular flight schedule.
In addition, the airline has installed extra check-in kiosks in selected airports to ensure a smooth travel experience for passengers while encouraging online check-in to avoid congestion at the airports.
Vietjet is offering special promotions for the Lunar New Year, with weekly ticket promotions every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday until February 10 for all international flights. There is also a special golden promotional week with up to 20 per cent off on Business and SkyBoss tickets.
