Local airlines to halt domestic routes
According to the CAAV, the Covid-19 outbreak in Hanoi, HCM City and many other provinces is developing. In order to uphold social distancing rules and ensure passenger safety, CAAV has asked local firms to stop selling tickets for domestic flights. The airlines must refund passengers whose flights would have taken off after July 21 until further notice.
Vietnam Airlines are selling Hanoi-HCM City tickets for flights after September 15. Vietjet Air and Bamboo Airways are also selling Hanoi-HCM City tickets for flights after September 16.
The airlines were also asked to tighten monitoring to make sure employees follow social distancing rules and procedures to ensure aviation safety. The CAAV said the airlines should have extensive training programmes for employees that are controllers and operators of aviation equipment and vehicles.
