Aviation authority asks focus on safety amid shortage of aircrafts
VIETNAM, June 8 - HÀ NỘI — The Civil Aviation Authority of Việt Nam has asked carriers to focus on ensuring safety, as the shortage of available operational planes is forcing airlines to optimise aircraft flying times to meet peak transportation demand.
Việt Nam is facing a serious shortage of planes due to the recall by Pratt & Whitney for their PW1100 engine on Airbus A 321 Neo aircraft.
Airlines are being forced to optimise aircraft maintenance plans as well as prepare spare parts, equipment and tools for aircraft repair so that aircrafts can operate most efficiently, but also safely.
At the beginning of May, Việt Nam had a total of 199 aircraft, 32 fewer than in 2023. Of them, 165-170 were air-ready, 40-45 fewer than the average in 2023. — VNS
