ACV has instructed its airports to increase staffing, equipment, and vehicles while maintaining 24/7 operations at Airport Operations Control Centers (AOCCs/AOCs) to promptly handle any arising situations and ensure operational safety.

Airports are coordinating with airlines, border police, customs authorities, and other relevant units to organize passenger flows at check-in counters, security screening areas, departure gates, and baggage claim areas to minimize congestion.

ACV will also step up inspections of infrastructure and equipment, monitor compliance with regulations on service price listing and charging, and coordinate efforts to address illegal passenger transport services, passenger solicitation, and improper charges in pick-up and drop-off areas.

The corporation has also highlighted the risk to flight safety posed by kite flying, straw burning, laser lights, and unmanned aerial vehicles around airports, all of which may affect aircraft operations and airspace safety.

ACV recommends that passengers arrive at the airport two hours before domestic flights and three hours before international flights, use online check-in or VNeID where available, and proactively monitor flight information.
