In an attempt to stimulate domestic travel, Vietnam Airlines Group - which includes Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific and VASCO - will increase the frequency of domestic flights beginning mid-May 2020.

Until 15 May, Vietnam Airlines will continue to operate 17 flights per day on the trunk route connecting Hanoi and Saigon.

It is estimated that by June 2020, Vietnam Airlines will have completely recovered its domestic flight network after the resumption of Danang – Van Don and Danang - Can Tho routes.

On 7 May, Jetstar Pacific resumed flights between Saigon – Danang/Vinh/Thanh Hoa routes with the frequency of 1 flight per day; Saigon – Pleiku/Chu Lai/Dong Hoi routes with 4 four flights per week on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.

The carrier is also expected to increase the frequency of flights between Hanoi and Saigon in the coming days, depending on demand.
