The international flight network has been fully restored to match the pre-pandemic period and continues to expand into new markets in Central Asia, India, and Australia.

Most notably, during public holidays and in the summer season period, international routes to popular destinations such as Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, and Da Lat have all been fully exploited by airlines.

In particular, Da Nang International Airport has 24 airlines with a total of 17 foreign routes, while Cam Ranh International Airport has 16 carriers operating 13 international routes. Furthermore, Phu Quoc International Airport also has seven airlines operating eight international routes.

Through these key international airports, the volume of foreign passengers has witnessed strong growth compared to the same period from last year, with Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat international airports serving 5.9 million and eight million passengers, respectively, reaching the highest figure so far.

The reviewed period has seen a total of 10 international markets recording the highest number of international passengers to the country, including the Republic of Korea, China, Taiwan (China), Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, Hong Kong (China), and India.

Although the Chinese market has not yet fully rebounded as the level it was back in 2019, there are positive signs of recovery ahead. Meanwhile, other markets, especially the Australian and Indian markets, have enjoyed rapid growth.

Experts pointed out that the international aviation market will continue to see robust growth moving forward, while the domestic aviation market will be affected by supply sources, including the shortage of aircraft, exchange rates, rising interest rates, and fuel prices.
