Regarding the peak summer season, a representative of Tan Son Nhat Airport stated that flight schedules are expected to continue increasing. On average, there are 680 flights arriving and departing daily, with weekends from Friday to Sunday reaching up to 710 flights. The daily passenger count is expected to average around 110,000.
