The flight was arranged by Vietnamese authorities, the Vietnamese Embassy
in Canada, the national flag carrier Vietnamese Airlines, and relevant agencies
of the North American nation.
Passengers included people under 18, the elderly, ill persons, students who
finished learning courses but lacked accommodation, workers with expired visas
or labour contracts, stranded tourists, and others with special disadvantages.
The Vietnamese Embassy sent staff to assist the citizens in handling boarding
procedures at the Toronto international airport.
Security, safety and hygiene measures were carried out throughout the flight to
protect their health and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Upon landing at Van Don Airport, those on board received health check-ups and
sent to concentrated quarantine facilities.
More flights are set to be conducted in the time ahead to repatriate Vietnamese
citizens with disadvantaged circumstances.
