AsemconnectVietnam - Local budget air carrier Vietjet was listed as the least punctual airline in October, with a total of 1,355 delayed flights, accounting for some 14% of total operational flights, rising 3% year-on-year, according to a report on airline operations in the country released by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper reported.

In addition, the total number of delayed and canceled flights of Vietjet amounted to 1,361, still securing the top spot. Meanwhile, national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines (VNA) came in second with 813 flights canceled and delayed.
Data from CAAV shows that local carriers---VNA, Vietjet Air, Jetstar Pacific and Vasco--operated around 22,800 flights in total last month. Of these, the delayed flights totaled over 2,500.
As for Jetstar Pacific, it recorded 353 delayed flights, accounting for nearly 13% of its total flights, edging down 2.2% against last year’s figure. Meanwhile, VNA did not operate 804 flights punctually, comprising 8.3% of the total.
Vasco, a subsidiary of VNA, reported the lowest number of delayed flights, at 18.
There are many causes for flight delays and cancelations. However, it was mainly attributed to the late return of planes, resulting in 57% of delays, and to the carriers’ issues, which caused 23% of total delays, according to CAAV, in addition to other reasons such as air traffic control and flight regulations, bad weather, slow services and poor equipment at airports.
