The special flight was arranged by domestic authorities, the Vietnamese Embassy in Singapore, budget carrier Vietjet Air, and relevant Singaporean agencies.
The passengers are mostly the elderly, pregnant women, sick people, children aged under 18, workers with expired visas and labour contracts, and stranded tourists.
Vietjet Air strictly carried out security and safety measures during the flight to protect passengers’ health and prevent the spread of the disease.
Immediately after landing at Can Tho International Airport, all passengers and crew members were given health check and brought to concentrated quarantine facilities.
Under the Prime Minister’s direction, domestic authorities and Vietnam’s overseas representative offices will arrange more flights to take Vietnamese citizens home, depending on the citizens’ need and the country’s quarantine capacity./.
