HCMC – Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi is expected to serve nearly 110,000 passengers during the National Day holiday, up 20% year-on-year, with measures in place to ensure safe and seamless operations.
The airport has convened a meeting with key units to devise operation plans for the holiday, according to the Vietnam News Agency.
Holiday passenger traffic is expected to spike, with international arrivals on some days approaching a record 44,000, fueled by large delegations traveling to Hanoi for National Day celebrations and an expanded international flight network.
