The embassy sent staff to the airport to assist the citizens in completing boarding procedures. All crew members and passengers complied with in-flight COVID-19 preventive measures. They were given medical checkups and put under quarantine upon arrival at Hanoi’s Noi Bai International Airport.

More flights will be arranged to fly home Vietnamese citizens in the future, depending on citizens’ request, the COVID-19 pandemic situation, and the nation’s quarantine capacity.
