The passengers onboard the VNA flight included children under 18, the elderly, pregnant women, people with sickness, workers with expired visas and labor contracts, students without residence due to the closure of dormitories, and other especially disadvantaged cases.

With the aim of ensuring citizens’ health and prevent the spread of the pandemic, the airline implemented security, safety and epidemiological measures throughout the flight.

Right upon their landing at Ha Noi’s Noi Bai International Airport, all the passengers and the crew members were medically checked and put under quarantine in line with current regulations.

In accordance with the Prime Minister’s directions, more flights will be conducted in the near future to bring citizens stranded overseas to the homeland, taking into account the citizens’ needs and domestic quarantine capacity.
