en.Wedoany.com Reported - Ticket prices on many domestic routes have dropped by 10% to 15% since early June, as airlines expand low-fare brackets and ramp up efforts to stimulate travel demand.

An unusual phenomenon occurred in the market this year: the off-peak season for aviation from late February to late May did not see the usual abundance of cheap tickets.

In previous years, passengers could easily snag one-way tickets costing just a few hundred thousand Vietnamese dong on short-haul routes, with many routes totaling less than one million dong including taxes and fees. However, this year, depending on the route and flight time, one-way fares generally ranged from 1.5 million to 5 million dong, causing some people to postpone their travel plans.

Due to weak purchasing power, it was not until June that airlines reintroduced multiple low-fare brackets to stimulate demand. A survey of ticketing systems shows that current fares on popular tourist routes such as Ho Chi Minh City to Da Nang, Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, and Hanoi to Nha Trang are all lower than during the period from late February to May. For example, on the Ho Chi Minh City–Nha Trang route from June to August, round-trip tickets on low-cost carriers are currently priced at around 1.8 million dong.

Round-trip fares on traditional airlines (including checked baggage) fluctuate around 3 million dong, down about 10% to 15% from last month. Similarly, round-trip fares on the Ho Chi Minh City–Da Nang route range from 2.3 million to 5 million dong, while round-trip fares on the Ho Chi Minh City–Hanoi route are recorded at 3.1 million to 5 million dong.

Airlines stated that Jet A1 fuel prices have dropped significantly compared to the peak of the Middle East conflict. The "cooling" of fuel costs has created conditions for airlines to expand low-fare brackets and launch more promotional stimulus programs during the summer.
