Vietnam aims to rank fifth among top air-transportation service providers in Southeast Asia by 2020, reported the online newspaper VnEconomy with a draft scheme on restructuring the sector being developed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).
Accordingly, by 2020, domestic air travel is set to account for 3.23 percent of the national system with domestic goods transports at 0.04 percent. International passenger transportation will account for 45.9 percent.
Meanwhile, the number of aircraft in the country is set to amount to between 190 and 210. Future plane purchases will be based on advanced technology and sustainability.
Local leading airlines will enhance performance to meet international four- and five-star standards, whilst low-cost carriers will work to match regional peers.
The rate of delayed and cancelled flights is to be reduced to 12-15 percent.
