The state regulates the ceiling price of airline tickets.

Presenting the Report on receiving, explaining and revising the Draft Law on Prices (amended) at the meeting hall on the afternoon of June 19, Chairman of the National Assembly's Finance and Budget Committee Le Quang Manh said that the majority of opinions of National Assembly deputies agreed with the Government's proposal on prices for domestic air passenger transport services.

According to Mr. Manh, the State will set a maximum price (ceiling price) for domestic air passenger transport services to ensure the interests of the people. The National Assembly Standing Committee recognizes that in the current context, the aviation market is still limited in competition, promoting the development of synchronous and modern modes of transport is still a struggle, especially when the high-speed North-South railway has not been deployed and operated, and the impact and consequences of removing the price ceiling regulation have not been assessed.

To ensure the autonomy of airlines on the one hand and the rights of the people on the other hand, the State still needs to maintain the ceiling price regulation for domestic air passenger transport services as a tool for State price management to ensure the State's responsibility in stabilizing the market, maintaining healthy competition, and promoting socio-economic development.

Based on reality, carefully studying different opinions, and based on the principle of majority decision, at the present time, the National Assembly Standing Committee requests the National Assembly to allow the regulation of ceiling prices for domestic air passenger transport services.
