To ensure aviation security during the holiday, ACV has directed its affiliated airports to implement enhanced aviation security measures, including increased personnel deployment at sensitive areas from August 31 to September 3. This prevents congestion and overload during peak hours in passenger terminal buildings.

Security forces are strengthened at the airports.

Especially, the airports strictly control passengers’ identification documents, conduct random interviews, and maximize the use of security scanners during peak hours to ensure the fastest flow.

According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, from August 30 to September 3, Vietnamese airlines will supply approximately 850,000 seats on domestic routes.

Aviation is expected to serve more than 1.5 million passengers during the National Day holiday.

The North-South routes connecting Hanoi, Danang, and Ho Chi Minh City remain the focus, with an average of more than 240 flights per day, an increase of 8% compared to the week before the holiday and 14.9% over the same period in 2023.
