🇻🇳🚫✈️ Vietnam Airlines to Suspend Some Routes as Jet Fuel Risks Rise

Vietnam Airlines will temporarily suspend flights on some domestic routes as jet fuel shortages and rising fuel prices caused by the conflict in the Middle East start to impact the nation’s air travel.

The national flag carrier will cut around 23 flights per week from April 1 over tightened supplies of jet fuel, according to a statement from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam. VietJet Aviation JSC is also reducing flights on some routes, according to schedules on its booking website.

Bamboo Airways will strive to maintain flights during peak travel periods, though frequencies may be lower than last year if oil prices stay high, the airline said in a statement. It also called on the government to offer more support to airlines, including further reductions in environmental protection tax and aviation fuel taxes.

The aviation agency warned earlier this month that jet fuel shortages could emerge from early April as suppliers are delaying deliveries or may invoke force majeure clauses to terminate contracts. Around 70% of Vietnam’s jet fuel is imported, primarily from China and Thailand.
