Mr. Minh asked the Transport Ministry and aviation units to seriously follow the Prime Minister’s directions on ensuring traffic safety and order during Tet and spring festival 2022 as travelling demand will hike.

He asked the Transport Ministry to work with countries’ aviation authorities to agree on increasing the frequency of international flights, thus meeting demand of overseas Vietnamese who wish to return home for Tet, focusing on countries with many OVs living and working and effective control of the pandemic such as Australia, Germany, France and the UK.

Aviation units were asked to popularise security, safety and COVID-19 prevention and control regulations to passengers, seriously punish violations by individuals and organisations, and mitigate the number of delayed and cancelled flights, and promptly prepare for plans when infection cases are discovered.
