VietJet Air (VJ) July 2025 Operational Report

Flight Activity Overview

Total arriving flights: 13,567

Year-over-year change: +6.57%

VietJet Air handled a high-summer schedule in July with 13,567 arriving flights, reflecting +6.57% versus last year. Demand was buoyed by leisure travel across Vietnam and short‑haul routes around Southeast and Northeast Asia, while added capacity on trunk markets such as Ho Chi Minh City–Hanoi and beach destinations like Da Nang and Nha Trang helped consolidate share. The growth aligns with the carrier’s strategy to stimulate price‑sensitive demand and deepen international connectivity into Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei and Singapore.

On-Time Performance and Cancellations

On-time arrival rate: 63.93%

Year-over-year change (on-time rate): +43.51%

Cancelled flights: 43

Year-over-year change (cancellations): -89.49%

Punctuality reached 63.93%, an improvement of +43.51% year over year, while cancellations fell to 43 with a -89.49% change. Performance was challenged by afternoon thunderstorms during the monsoon and by air traffic flow restrictions at Ho Chi Minh City, alongside ground congestion at peak bank times. To protect the schedule, the airline expanded spare‑aircraft coverage, retimed selected departures, and tightened line‑maintenance planning to stabilize turnarounds.

Key Hubs

VietJet Air concentrates operations at Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and Hanoi (HAN), with Da Nang (DAD) as a strong focus city. International spokes to Bangkok, Seoul, Taipei, Singapore and other regional gateways feed leisure flows and migrant‑worker traffic. Wave‑bank scheduling in early morning and late evening supports self‑connections and quick turns for dense domestic banks.

Outlook

For travelers, VietJet Air offers broad domestic coverage and competitive fares, with reliability improving but still sensitive to peak‑hour weather and congestion. Choosing earlier departures, allowing extra time at Ho Chi Minh City, and favoring single‑ticket itineraries can reduce disruption risk. Into late summer, expect punctuality to hold near current levels, incremental customer‑experience upgrades, and selective growth on regional routes where demand remains strong.
