However, the current average number of aircraft in operation is about 167, down about 51 compared to the same period in 2023. If the ratio of total aircraft in use to the total number of aircraft in the AOC of airlines in 2023 was 94.4%, in 2024 this ratio will be only 85.6%. The shortage of large numbers of aircraft has lasted since the end of last year due to many reasons, including the need to maintain aircraft related to Airbus engine problems... To maintain operations, airlines have sought every way to add aircraft and maintain supply capacity, but this is also facing difficulties due to the general shortage of aircraft worldwide. After a period of struggling due to the lack of aircraft, airlines are now also increasing their search and negotiating to lease to supplement the number of aircraft that have been stopped from operating. In July 2024, Vietnamese airlines added 4 more aircraft to serve the peak summer season. Accordingly, Vietnam Airlines received 1 wide-body B787-10 and 1 A320. Bamboo Airways received 1 A320, Vietravel Airlines received 1 A319. According to the report, from now until the end of 2024, Vietnam Airlines is expected to receive 3 more aircraft (including 2 A320 and 1 B787-10). Vietjet Air is expected to receive 2 Embraer E190 aircraft in August 2024 to increase operations to Con Dao and is negotiating to lease about 7-9 A321/A330 aircraft. Regarding the international flight network, in the first 6 months of 2024, 63 foreign airlines (including 4 Vietnamese airlines: Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, Vietjet Air, Vietravel Airlines) operated nearly 160 international routes connecting Vietnam and countries around the world. The international flight network has been restored to the same level as before the Covid-19 pandemic and continues to expand to new markets in Central Asia, India, Australia, etc. In particular, during holidays and when entering the summer vacation period, international flights to tourist destinations such as Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Phu Quoc, Da Lat are all operated by airlines with high output and frequency. Of which, Da Nang International Airport has 24 airlines operating 17 international routes, Cam Ranh International Airport has 16 airlines operating 13 international routes, Phu Quoc International Airport has 7 airlines operating 8 international routes... International passenger transport output reached 20.3 million passengers, an increase of 38% over the same period in 2023 and approximately the same period in 2019. In the first 6 months of 2024, airlines transported more than 17.2 million domestic passengers, equal to 82% over the same period in 2023. Due to difficulties in the aircraft fleet, airlines had to adjust the supply on domestic routes and this was the reason why the domestic market decreased compared to the same period in 2023 and 2019. However, airlines still maintain the domestic route network with 50 routes connecting Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and 20 airports. nationwide
