Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific ensure punctuality amid increased demand for Tet
(VOVWORLD) - National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines announced that it has operated more than 2,600 punctual flights with on-time performance (OTP) reaching over 90%, 3% higher than scheduled. In particular, Monday’s OTP reached 93%.
This is the result of sustainable punctuality Vietnam Airlines achieved last year with OTP's average departures reaching over 90%, making Vietnam Airlines one of the most punctual airlines in the world.
Jetstar Pacific operated a total of 156 flights from Tan Son Nhat International Airport from Saturday to Tuesday and the average delay is only 29 minutes mainly due to bad weather in Hue, Vinh, and Dong Hoi airports.
The number of passengers on the occasion of the Lunar New Year (Tet) has increased sharply, particularly at Tan Son Nhat, Noi Bai and Da Nang airports. At Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai airports, Vietnam Airlines served more than 65,000 passengers a day at peak time. Meanwhile, Jetstar Pacific served an average of 7,500 passengers a day from the south to the north. Vietnam Airlines and Jetstar Pacific achieve impressive punctuality by planning contingency, increasing human resources, strictly reviewing passengers' service, and minimizing delay for subjective reasons.
