reader Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 From Vietnam News HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Transport has submitted to the Prime Minister a plan on the pilot resumption of regular international flights carrying passengers to Việt Nam from December 15, in anticipation of a year-end surge in travel demand. The first phase will last for two weeks, starting on December 15, during which regular flights between Việt Nam and destinations with a high level of pandemic safety and high demand for entry into Việt Nam will be conducted, namely Beijing (China), Tokyo (Japan), Seoul (the Republic of Korea), Taipei (Taiwan, China), Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, Vientiane (Laos), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), and San Francisco or Los Angeles (the US). The flights in this phase will connect with the international airports of Nội Bài (in Hà Nội) and Tân Sơn Nhất (in HCM City). There will be four flights per week on every way for each side. About 14,000 passengers are expected to arrive in Việt Nam every week. Meanwhile, the second phase will last for a month after the first one concludes, starting in January 2022. Apart from the nine above mentioned destinations, the transport ministry also proposed regular flights linking with Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Hong Kong (China), Paris (France), Frankfurt (Germany), Sydney (Australia), and Moscow (Russia). https://vietnamnews.vn/society/1095025/transport-ministry-seeks-resumption-of-regular-intl-flights-from-dec-15-end-to-quarantine-for-vaccinated-passengers.html Quote
