Thekabarnews.com—Vietnam Airlines has said that starting on April 1, it will cut back on a lot of its domestic flights. Additionally, the global jet fuel crisis is still causing problems for the aviation industry.
Finding Jet A-1 fuel is getting harder, and energy prices are going up all over the world. The main reason for the crisis is that tensions are rising in the Middle East.
That is why the decision was made. Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Authority said that the country’s main airline will cut about 23 domestic flights a week to save fuel.
Because of the choice, many routes have changed. For example, flights from Hai Phong to popular tourist spots like Phu Quoc, Cam Ranh, Buon Ma Thuot, and Can Tho will be delayed for a short time.
There will not be any more flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Van Don, Rach Gia, or Dien Bien either. Officials say that the problems show how much Vietnam needs to get energy from other countries. In particular, Vietnam relies on Singapore for jet fuel.
Airlines’ operating expenses have gone up a lot because of problems in the supply chain and rising prices. As a result, the situation has led to increased ticket prices and reduced flight availability. This meant that they had to change their plans and how many people they could fit.
Experts in travel say that fewer flights could hurt Vietnam’s growing tourism industry. This issue is important because the industry needs domestic flights to connect major cities and new tourist spots.
The aviation industry has helped the economy a lot in the last few years by boosting tourism, facilitating trade, and creating jobs. However, these are now at risk due to the current challenges in the sector. That is why the problems right now are so scary.
There are also some changes happening in the shipping business. To make up for the rising cost of fuel, air freight companies have added extra fees. These fees range from 17,000 to 40,000 Vietnamese dong per kilogram.
Logistics will likely cost more, meaning customers will pay more and wait longer for their goods. Changes in global energy prices continue to impact the airline industry significantly.
Political tensions will always have an effect on oil markets. Because of this, airlines in the area may have to deal with operational issues on a regular basis. For instance, they face increased fuel costs and potential flight delays due to supply chain disruptions.
With fuel prices remaining volatile, Vietnam Airlines’ decision highlights the broader impact of global energy instability. It affects transportation networks, tourism, and trade across Southeast Asia.
