Information from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said that this unit has received documents from leaders of the above provinces and cities regarding plans to operate domestic flights to and from airports in the area.
Accordingly, the People's Committee of Binh Dinh province agreed with the plan to operate domestic flights to and from Phu Cat Airport. The People's Committee of Khanh Hoa province also issued a document agreeing with the proposed contents of the first phase of domestic air transport operations to and from Cam Ranh International Airport.
Similarly, the People's Committee of Dien Bien province has issued a document agreeing with the plan to restore air transport in phase 1, expected to be applied from October 5, proposed by the Civil Aviation Authority. Previously, on October 3, the People's Committee of Phu Yen province also issued a document agreeing with the proposal to exploit air transport in phase 1 with a frequency of 3 round trips/day (Phu Yen - Hanoi), 4 flights/day (Phu Yen - Ho Chi Minh City).
Most recently, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee also issued a document "basically agreeing with the draft plan to exploit domestic routes". Particularly for the Ho Chi Minh City - Hanoi route, the city requested the Civil Aviation Authority to organize a number of flights (round trips) during the week to partially solve the urgent travel needs between the key economic region in the South with Hanoi and the northern provinces and cities.
In addition, the Civil Aviation Authority has received a document from Gia Lai province not agreeing to open the flight route from October 5. After October 15, based on the epidemic situation, this province will propose to operate flights again. Previously, Hai Phong City also did not agree to the plan to open the flight route according to the survey of the Ministry of Transport.
On the evening of October 4, the Hanoi People's Committee also sent an urgent dispatch to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam requesting clarification of a number of issues and only organizing domestic flights when there is written agreement. Specifically, the city requested the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority to develop a flight plan for the expected routes to and from Noi Bai airport to get opinions from Hanoi and neighboring localities, and only organize when there is local approval.
Hanoi requested the Civil Aviation Authority to clarify the criteria for passengers, only allowing passengers from green zones to travel as needed, while passengers from orange and red zones must have the consent of the local authorities of departure and arrival. Hanoi also requested people in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, and Long An to temporarily refrain from traveling to other localities.
