The passengers were workers with expired contracts and without accommodations.
The Vietnamese Embassy had closely worked with local relevant agencies to help the citizens travel to the airport and assist them with boarding procedures.
Strict security, safety, and epidemiological measures were implemented during the flight to ensure passengers’ health and prevent the spread of diseases.
After landing in Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport, passengers and crew members had their health checked and sent to quarantine in line with regulations.
The repatriation of Vietnamese citizens in disadvantaged circumstances abroad will continue to be conducted in line with citizens’ wishes, the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine capacity in the country
