Arranged by the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines under the support of Vietnamese and Japanese authorities, the repatriation flight touched down at Da Nang International Airport.

Passengers included children and young people (under 18s), seniors, sick people, pregnant women, travellers, and guest workers who have their visas expired and labour contracts terminated.

The Vietnamese Embassy in Japan sent its staff members to assist the Vietnamese citizens to handle boarding procedures at Japan’s airport.

All passengers travelling on the flight had their health checked and were required to complete their health declaration, and they were quarantined for 2 weeks after entering Viet Nam.      

Also, the aircraft, the entire passenger cabin, cockpit and cargo storage area were disinfected after landing.
