Vietnam Airlines on September 19 transported as many as 60 passengers to Japan, kick-starting regular commercial flights to the Far East country under the Vietnamese government’s recent decision to resume international flights.

The Vietnam Airlines flight, coded VN310, departs from Hanoi at 6.30hrs for Narita International Airport in Tokyo.

Vietnam Airlines uses Boeing 787 aircraft, one of the most modern planes in its fleet, to fly on the Japan route.

Passengers on board the flight are mostly made up of Vietnamese citizens traveling to work, study, and live in the Far East country.

There were also a number of Japanese citizens on board the flight who want to return home. In addition to passengers, Vietnam Airlines also transports commodities to Japan.

Throughout the flight, passengers are required to wear protective suits whilst maintaining a safe distance from each other.

They must also undergo RT-PCT tests and fill out a health declaration form ahead of departure.

Following the success of the flight, Vietnam Airlines will launch two further flights from Hanoi to Japan on September 25 and September 29, in addition to another flight from Ho Chi Minh to Tokyo on September 30.

Customers are able to purchase flight tickets to Japan on the national carrier’s website, through its mobile app, or at ticket agents located nationwide.

In addition to Japan, Vietnam Airlines is devising plans aimed at restoring routes to the Republic of Korea, China, Taiwan (China), Laos, and Cambodia.

The flight schedule of the Vietnam-Japan route will be updated in the near future.

Upon their return to Vietnam, all crew members must undergo medical check-ups and spend time in quarantine in line with COVID-19 regulations.

The aircraft is disinfected according to international standards, with special focus given to the entirety of the passenger cabin and the cockpit.

The launch of the flights to carry passengers from Japan to Vietnam will take place following an official decision from the Vietnamese Government.

As a result of the complicated development of COVID-19, Vietnam Airlines originally suspended commercial flights to and from Japan on March 23, with international flights coming to a halt on March 25.

The recovery of regular international flights looks to be a positive signal for Vietnam Airlines, along with the nation’s aviation industry, with COVID-19 being brought under control in many countries and regions.
