The CAAV said it has received reports of repatriation flight scams in which many people have been contacted with advertisements about foreign airlines organising flights for Vietnamese.

But those international airlines have told the CAAV they have organised no such flights while it has not licensed any either.

The Ministry of Public Security is investigating the scams to prevent a recurrence to protect passengers and airlines’ reputation.

The CAAV said passengers should visit the websites of official agencies such as the Ministry of Transport and the CAAV to get the latest information about repatriation flights.
