In the past few days, to minimise congestion atthe rapid COVID-19 testing sites at the two major international airports, the CAAV has closelycoordinated with airlines to arrange the arrival time of international flights.
However, Vietnam faces difficulties adjusting thearrival time of regular international commercial flights, which depart fromother countries and territories. Meanwhile, repatriation flights are charter ones that areoperated more flexibly, especially regarding the landing airports in Vietnam.
In the past, most repatriation flights, which offera package of air tickets, COVID-19 testing and selected quarantineaccommodation for Vietnamese citizens were arranged to land at Van Don, Da Nangand Cam Ranh international airports. As a result, the combo charter flights didnot affect the activities at the Noi Bai and Tan Son Nhat International Airports.
However, the two airports have seen overcrowding at therapid COVID-19 testing areas because of increased repatriation flights andreturnees./.
