Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan signed a decision on the suspension of flights beginning at 0:00 on July 8 until further notice. The move came as HCM City is recording a large number of COVID-19 cases in recent weeks.
The Ministry of Transport tasked the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam to coordinate with relevant agencies and units under the People's Committee of Kien Giang province to monitor the COVID-19 situation to make adjustments to flights to/Phu Quoc Airport in a timely manner.
The Ministry of Transport had previously agreed to suspend flights from HCM City's Tan Son Nhat International Airport to Ba Ria – Vung Tau, Thanh Hoa, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Gia Lai, Quang Binh, Nghe An, Quang Nam, and Thua Thien – Hue./.
