	Vietnam Airlines resumes all domestic flights
	Another flight brings Vietnamese citizens return home

According to the Hanoitimes, Vietnamese airlines have resumed their normal domestic flight timetables amid tight observance of the anti-pandemic protocol as Covid-19 has been put under control.

National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines increased the frequency of domestic flights by 36%, totaling over 300 flights on May 29, exceeding the same period in 2019.

In mid-May, the national airline opened five more domestic routes and plans to launch the other six next month.

Head of CAAV (the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam) Dinh Viet Thang hopes that the domestic air travel market is expected to see full recovery by June.

Like Vietnam Airlines, many other air carriers have also restarted full operations of the domestic flight network.

Bamboo Airways, which started its first commercial flight in January 2019, has recommenced domestic flights but only at 50% of the pre-pandemic capacity. Before Covid-19, it operated 150 domestic flights per day, reported the Hanoitimes

From June 1, Bamboo Airways will increase flight frequency mainly on the Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh route and other cities to 80 flights per day and from June 15 to 120 flights. The airline plans also to increase flights to Vinh and Quy Nhon in anticipation of the peak summer season.
