National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines said Thursday it is operating 350 flights everyday during Tet, 150 more than last year.
The airline said the number of passengers traveling during the Lunar New Year has skyrocketed this year though the number on the last day of the Year of the Buffalo and the first two days of the new year are slightly down.
There is expected to be a scramble Friday when offices close and people flock to airports and railway stations to go home before New Year’s Eve.
Most of Vietnam Airlines’ additional flights are on the Hanoi-Ho Chi Minh City and Ho Chi Minh City –Da Nang sectors.
