Hanoi (VNA)ꩲ – The Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV) incurred losses of 1.37 trillion VND (60.8 million USD) due to the sharp increase in the value of the Japanese yen.

ACV has targeted to serve 73.4 million passengers, with revenues of 12 trillion VND and pre-tax profits of 2 trillion VND in 2016.
