The resumption will be carried out in two phases and depend on relevant agencies’ approval.
In the first phase, scheduled to begin on January 1 and last 2 weeks, the national flag carrier will operate round-trip flights between Vietnam and the US, Japan, South Korea, Chinese Taipei, Singapore, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.
The second phase will include the UK, France, Germany, Russia, Australia, Hong Kong (China), and Malaysia.
Chief of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Nguyen Trung Khanh said on Thursday that reopening commercial international flights is an urgent need, especially in the year-end period when people, especially overseas Vietnamese, have high demand for returning to the homeland.
