The performance is much higher than the average rate of 73.7% of the entire aviation industry.
During the reviewed period, the national flag carrier operated 98,985 flights, of which the number of flights taking off on time stood at 80,944, at 81.8%.
Meanwhile, Vietnam Air Service Company (VASCO), a member of Vietnam Airlines, also recorded an impressive OTP index of 86%.
The remarkable achievement has been attributed to the airline's constant efforts in optimizing operational processes and providing excellent service quality to passengers despite numerous challenges relating to aviation infrastructure and a shortage of aircraft.
Vietnam Airlines has ramped up cooperation with major aircraft manufacturing corporations in the world to quickly receive more Airbus A320neo and Boeing 787 aircraft as a way of expanding its fleet, increasing its transportation capacity and maintaining a high OTP index.
Simultaneously, it has optimized aircraft maintenance by focusing on daily technical inspections to ensure aircraft operating time.
With these efforts, Vietnam Airlines has been ranked as one of the five most punctual airlines in the Asia-Pacific region by Cirium, an aviation data analytics company and a strategic partner of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently.
In the coming time, the airline will continue to optimize operations with a particular focus on applying modern technologies to improve punctuality, while providing passengers with the best experience and affirming the position of the Vietnamese aviation industry in the international market.
