HÀ NỘI – Flight volumes at major airports such as Nội Bài and Tân Sơn Nhất are expected to continue rising as post-Tết (Lunar New Year) travel demand remains strong, according to the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM).

The corporation said it is committed to ensuring flight safety, operational stability, and security across aviation facilities during this period.

Throughout the Lunar New Year holiday (January 25–February 3), VATM managed 25,328 flights. Notably, January 25 (the 26th day of the last month of the Year of the Dragon) saw 3,005 flights, the highest recorded during Tết.

As the holiday drew to a close, major international airports witnessed a surge in flight operations. On Sunday (the 5th day of the first month of the Year of the Snake), Tân Sơn Nhất Airport handled 978 flights, Nội Bài 570 flights, and Đà Nẵng 269 flights. VNS
