CẦN THƠ — The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has accepted a request from Cần Thơ International Airport to extend its operating hours, a move designed to help the airport meet growing demand.

Operating hours will be extended by four hours every day, from 5am to 11:59pm, effective from July 13 to September 4.

The CAAV has also requested the airport inform relevant agencies and units of the airport, as well as related parties, to coordinate operations and ensure security, safety, and efficiency.

The Việt Nam Air Traffic Management Corporation will collaborate with the airport to provide information in accordance with regulations.

Additionally, the CAAV has asked Vietnamese carriers to increase flights to Cần Thơ, especially on the Hà Nội – Cần Thơ route, and to expand new domestic and international routes to Cần Thơ.

The CAAV will continue to study policies to facilitate operations of Vietnamese airlines and foreign airlines to Cần Thơ.

Currently, there are five flight routes to Cần Thơ from Hà Nội, Vinh, Hải Phòng, Đà Nẵng, and Côn Đảo, with a total of 11-12 round trips each day.  VNS
