• Infrastructure limits remain the main challenge, with the airport often operating near or above capacity. This causes ground congestion and slows aircraft turnaround.
• Weather disruptions are common during typhoon season, as Central Vietnam is prone to severe storms that lead to cancellations.
• Air traffic control constraints can trigger delays during peak hours when demand outpaces available slots.
• Network delays occur when late-arriving flights from other airports disrupt the daily schedule.
