National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines on March 19 announced that it will stop
flights between Vietnam and ASEAN countries of Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia,
Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar, starting from March 21.
The carrier’s services between Vietnam and the UK and Japan will be suspended as
from March 23. Meanwhile, its flights departing from Vietnam bound for Germany
and Australia will be halted from March 24, and those departing from those two
countries for Vietnam will be halted from the next day.
Jetstar Pacific also announced the suspension of its international flights until
April 30.
Similarly, budget airline Vietjet Air will suspend its flights from/to Thailand,
Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia starting from March 20. The
suspension is projected to last until the end of April, but will depend
on COVID-19 situation.
However, Vietjet Air has yet to make decision on its routes between Vietnam and
Taiwan, Japan and India.
Vietnam’s newest carrier Bamboo Airways said the air route connecting Hanoi and
Prague of the Czech Republic, which was initially planned to be launched on
March 29, will be delayed to April 26 due to impact of the COVID-19. The
airline’s international flights have been suspended.
Representatives of the airlines said passengers of the affected flights during
the COVID-19 outbreak would be able to change their departure date and
destinations to later dates free of charge when the outbreak is under control.
Earlier, Vietnamese airlines had suspended flights from/to mainland China, Hong
Kong, Macau, Taiwan, the Republic of Korea, France, Russia and Malaysia in the
face of the COVID-19.
Starting from March 19, passengers with travel history to epidemic-hit areas
arriving in Noi Bai International Airport will be sent straight to concentrated
quarantine facilities and have their samples taken there, in a bid to reduce
overloading at the airport.
