 The flight was arranged by domestic authorities, the Vietnamese Embassy in the US, national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and US relevant agencies.

Passengers included children under 18 years old, the elderly, people with underlying health issues, workers with expired visas and labour contracts, students without accommodations, stranded tourists, and those in disadvantaged circumstances.

The Vietnamese Embassy sent its staff to the airport to assist the citizens to complete all required procedures before boarding the flights.

Disease prevention measures were carried out strictly during the flight. Upon landing at Van Don Airport in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh, all passengers and crew members were given health checks and quarantined in line with regulations.

The Vietnamese Government will continue to arrange more repatriation flights to bring back citizens abroad home, depending on their wish and local quarantine capacity./.
