VIETNAM PLANNING TO RESUME INTERNATIONAL PASSANGER FLIGHTS
Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Authority is working on a plan to resume international flights, after being grounded for the past five months. Trips are planned to start as early as this month from Sept 15. All passengers will be expected to go through a manditory quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in the country.
The first international flights under the plan will be to Japan and South Korea, with four trips per week on each route. The transport ministry is set to meet with the ministries of foreign affairs, defence, health and labour to discuss the plan this week.
International flights to Vietnam stopped on April 1 due to the "coronavirus" pandemic. Recently Vietnamese officials ordered the evacuation of 80,000 people from the coastal city of Da Nang, following the surprise apperance of 3 new covid-19 cases.
