The Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam stated that the aviation fuel supply is at risk of shortage, forcing the carrier to prioritize maintaining key national connections and major domestic routes that serve travel, trade, and tourism needs.
From April 1, the airline plans to suspend operations on several routes, including Hai Phong–Buon Ma Thuot, Hai Phong–Cam Ranh, Hai Phong–Phu Quoc, Hai Phong–Can Tho, Ho Chi Minh City–Van Don, Ho Chi Minh City–Rach Gia, and Ho Chi Minh City–Dien Bien, totaling 23 flights per week.
Vietnamese airlines are also developing plans to introduce fuel surcharges on international routes, possibly starting in early April./.
