Vietnam to Cut Domestic Flights over Jet Fuel Shortage
Vietnam Airlines will cut 23 weekly flights from April 1 due to jet fuel shortages and rising prices caused by Middle East conflict disrupting imports, the aviation agency said.
- On Monday, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam confirmed Vietnam Airlines Corp will cut 23 flights per week starting April 1 to manage jet fuel conservation amid potential shortages.
- The Middle East conflict has disrupted aviation fuel imports previously sourced from China and Thailand, prompting suppliers to delay deliveries or invoke force majeure clauses to terminate contracts.
- Seven domestic routes face service reductions, including Hai Phong to Buon Ma Thuot, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, and Can Tho, plus Ho Chi Minh City connections to Van Don, Rach Gia, and Dien Bien.
- VietJet Aviation JSC and Bamboo Airways are also cutting frequencies while seeking government tax relief; Philippine budget carrier Cebu Air announced similar reductions on March 23.
- Vietnam recently sought fuel support from Qatar, Kuwait, Algeria, and Japan to bolster energy security, and signed an oil and gas production deal with Russia on Monday.
