The flight was arranged by Vietnamese authorities, representative agencies in Cuba and Germany, and national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines in collaboration with relevant local agencies. 

The flight was arranged to land at Havana (Cuba) and Frankfurt (Germany) to receive the citizens, including children under the age of 18, students who had completed their study courses, the elderly and the sick, stranded tourists and guest workers whose visas or contracts expired.

Vietnamese representative agencies in Cuba and Germany sent officials to the airports to help citizens complete all necessary procedures before boarding.

The flight strictly conducted security, safety and hygiene measures. All the passengers and crew members had their health checked and were quarantined as regulated immediately upon landing at Van Don International Airport in the northeastern province of Quang Ninh.

Under the Prime Minister’s directions, Vietnamese authorities and representative agencies abroad are arranging additional flights to repatriate more citizens based on their aspirations and the quarantine capacity at home./.
