Viet Nam Airlines will conduct 12 flights this year to bring home Vietnamese citizens from the U.S. this year after it obtained permission from the U.S. authorities. 

The first flight will depart from Ha Noi on June 11 for Washington D.C. before returning to Viet Nam on June 24.

The national flag carrier planned to use its modern aircraft - Boeing 787 or Airbus A350 for these flights during which preventive measures will be implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

In 2020, Viet Nam Airlines conducted 20 flights between Viet Nam and the U.S. to repatriate Vietnamese citizens, serve American experts and transport goods./.
