Flights to Europe rescheduled due to Pakistan’s airspace shutdown
Vietnam Airlines rescheduled four flights between Vietnam and Europe on February 27 evening to adjust their routes so as to avoid the airspace shut-down of Pakistan.

The carrier said other flights between Vietnam and Europe on the coming days may also be influenced.
