VIETNAMESE CARRIERS NOT ALLOWED TO RESUME TICKET SALES YET
Four Vietnamese carriers have been reminded they cannot start selling tickets for flights starting April 16 until they get formal permission.
The four carriers – Vietnam Airlines, Jetstar Pacific, Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways – were asked to submit their flight permit requests for the April 16-30 period Tuesday to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam for consideration.
While the nation’s 15-day social distancing campaign is about to end, the aviation authority requires domestic airlines to resume ticket sales only after getting permission anew.
Earlier, the airlines were only granted permission to fly on some limited routes from April 1-15 in response to the social distancing campaign ordered by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Only two flights between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, one between Hanoi and Da Nang; and another between Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang have been operating each day.
The reminder was issued after local carriers last week announced plans to resume flying on domestic routes from April 16 and sell air tickets online.
The government said it would take a decision on extending the social distancing campaign Wednesday.
Of the 265 Covid-19 infections recorded in Vietnam so far, 97 are still under treatment.
The Covid-19 pandemic has claimed almost 120,000 lives in 210 countries and territories.

Việt Nam is intensifying efforts to sustain export momentum in the second half of 2026 as the country works towards its target of US$550 billion in export revenue for the year, despite continuing uncertainties in global trade. Statistics show that exports reached $266.5 billion in the first six months, meaning the economy needs to generate around $245.5 billion more during the remainder of the year to meet the annual goal.

ASIA POWERS VIETNAM’S SHRIMP BOOM, LEAVING THE WEST BEHIND
In the first half of 2026, Vietnam's shrimp exports surpassed the US$2.3 billion mark, driven largely by booming demand from China and a lobster craze. But behind that growth figure lies a lopsided picture: Asia is carrying the load, while the U.S. and Europe have yet to break out. These days, a container of frozen shrimp leaving a Ho Chi Minh City port is more likely to cross the East Vietnam Sea to Shanghai than the Pacific to Los Angeles.
