HCMC airport serves record number of passengers during Tet holiday

According to the airport's operation center, it served 934 flights on the day, including 836 passenger ones on Wednesday, the last day of the one-week Tet break.

On Tuesday the airport served 843 flights with 136,500 passengers.

To prepare for this peak season, the airport coordinated closely with airlines to update flight schedules and prepare resources and equipment to serve passengers.

From Feb. 6, the Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) started piloting cashless parking payments at the airport to save the time through the station.

The airport also officially applied the A-CDM coordinated decision-making model on Feb. 1 which helps improve operational efficiency such as increasing the rate of on-time flight and minimizing cases where aircraft stop and wait for a long time on taxiways.
