The flight was conducted by domestic Vietnamese authorities, Vietnamese Embassy in Saudi Arabia, Bamboo Airways and related agencies of the local country.
Passengers included children under 18 years old and workers with expired visas or labour contracts along with those in special disadvantaged circumstances.
The citizens were helped with boarding procedures at the airport by the Vietnamese Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and the staff from the Vietnamese Embassy.
Security, safety and epidemiological hygiene measures were carried out strictly during the flight to ensure the passengers’ health and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Right after landing at Van Don Airport in Quang Ninh province, the crew members and passengers received health checks and were sent to quarantine sites in line with regulations.
In the coming time, the repatriation of Vietnamese citizens in disadvantaged circumstances will continue to be conducted depending on their wish and the pandemic’s development and quarantine capacity in Vietnam./.
