Hanoi (VNA) – Vietstar Airlines has adjusted its planand continued to ask the Government to grant an air transport business licenceso that it can take off sooner.
In the latest document sent to the Government,Vietstar wants to reduce the number of aircraft it will have between 2017 and2021 from 23 to 10. While five of the planes will park at Tan Son NhatInternational Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, the other five will park at Da NangInternational Airport in the central city of Da Nang.
Chairman of Vietstar Airlines’s member councilPham Trinh Phuong said the carrier now has two hangars able to store fiveA320/321 and B737 planes at Tan Son Nhat airport. Therefore, the plan tooperate 10 aircraft is feasible.
He added the Vietstar Aero Engineering JSC,which belongs to the same group with Vietstar Airlines, also owns hangarscapable of accommodating five aircraft in case Tan Son Nhat lacks parkingspace.
Vietstar Airlines has also aligned its flightplan with the market demand and the capacity of airports in Vietnam asrequested by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), Phuong noted.
The latest adjustment is believed to be part ofVietstar’s efforts to remove barriers related to the overloading of Tan SonNhat airport as well as Vietnam’s aviation industry. The overloading is alsoreported to be the main obstacle to the Government’s granting of an airtransport business licence to Vietstar.
In the Prime Minister’s instruction sent to theMinistry of Transport in early April, the licence granting will be consideredafter Tan Son Nhat airport is expanded. Meanwhile, the expansion plan is stillbeing built and set to be approved no sooner than the second quarter of 2017.It means the airline will have to wait at least three years before providingpassenger and cargo services.
Vietstar Airlines, established in June 2016 withcharter capital of 300 billion VND (13.2 million USD), is headquartered in TanBinh district of Ho Chi Minh City.
The CAAV confirmed that Vietstar Airlines metall requirements for a licence in terms of capital, airplanes and owner’squalifications.
