Vietnam Airlines Group, comprising Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines and VASCO, will add 60,000 seats during the holiday, bringing its total capacity to nearly 725,000 seats across its network.

With the additional capacity, the group will operate more than 3,600 flights during the holiday period, up 25% year-on-year.

The additional resources will be prioritized for routes linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City with popular destinations such as Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Hue, Da Lat and Phu Quoc.

Vietjet plans to add 82,000 seats, equivalent to 400 flights, across domestic and international routes.

From Aug. 26 to Sept. 5, 2026, the carrier is expected to operate more than 4,400 flights to meet travel demand.

Additional flights will focus on routes connecting Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi with popular economic and tourism hubs and destinations such as Da Nang, Nha Trang, Phu Quoc, Hue and Da Lat, giving passengers more choices in terms of travel times and itineraries during the peak period.

The capacity expansion comes as airlines continue to face high operating costs, particularly aviation fuel prices. Vietnam Airlines will therefore optimize its fleet and resources to increase frequencies on key routes while ensuring sufficient capacity to meet passenger demand.

Vietnam’s National Day holiday will last five days, from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, the Ministry of Home Affairs has announced.
