Noi Bai airport serves 27,000 passengers during Tet

Nearly 27,500 passengers have entered and went out of Hanoi through Noi Bai International Airport from January 23-25, according to the Airport Customs Department.
They include both local and international visitors, as well as overseas Vietnamese from countries around the globe returning home for the Lunar New Year festival (Tet). Most international arrivals are from different nations such as China, Japan, Taiwan (China), the Republic of Korea and other nations from Europe and America.
The Head of the Customs Department, Dao Van Lien, said that the number of passengers conducting entry-exit formalities during Tet reached more than 25,000. This is a positive sign showing the strong development of the capital city, as well as great efforts by the city’s customs sector in carrying out reforms and modernization.
Lien said last year, more than 3.24 million of passengers on 36,500 flights arrived in the capital city. Import-export turnover also increased sharply, hitting US$30.4 billion, US$12.2 billion higher than the previous year.
