The Ministry suggested its government open routes between Viet Nam and Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, Bangkok, Singapore, and Vientiane. They will also open flights to San Francisco or Los Angeles United States.
Vietnamese Transport Ministry considers the abovementioned countries as the most important markets with a high number of investors, experts, as well as technical workers.
They explained that the people wish to travel to such routes to explore investment. The government was also under stress to repatriate flights as Vietnamese citizens live and work in proposed markets.
Airports
Vietnam will utilize Noi Bai International Airport in Ha Noi and Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho Chi Minh City to facilitate the incoming international flights.
In addition, Da Nang International Airport, Cam Ranh International Airport, Phu Quoc International Airport, and Van Don International Airport will also be utilized in later stages.
The country will allow 4 flights per route, initially in a single week from both sides. Later six more air routes may be resumed from January 2022.
Those routes will include Kuala Lumpur, Hong Kong, Paris, Frankfurt, Sydney, and Moscow. Also, there will be 7 flights flying per week on every route from each side.
Earlier, the country halted the flights operation to curb the spread of the Covid19 Pandemic. The suspension of air travel damaged the Vietnamese economy with reduction in trade.
The country also had multiple other socio-economic impacts on the society including the lack of jobs because of the Covid-19.
