With the holiday spanning nine days, passenger numbers are projected to surge during this peak period. Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City alone is projected to serve over 4 million passengers during the holiday, posing a significant challenge for airport management given the fact that the airport’s infrastructure has already been operating at full capacity, even beyond, during peak periods in recent years. Against the backdrop, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has approved an increase in the maximum capacity of flights at airports. Tan Son Nhat will ramp up its flights to 46 per hour, a notable rise from the usual 38–40 flights. Additionally, five major airports in central Vietnam will operate around the clock during the holiday. Airlines have been directed to adopt self-service check-in kiosks to ease congestion at traditional counters. They are also required to facilitate night flights to maximise passenger handling capacity./.
