Vietnamese airlines will be allowed to bring home only Vietnamese from the three destinations, Vietnam's largest labor export markets, from December 1 until January 15.
The flights will only land at Van Don International Airport in northern Quang Ninh province; Da Nang, Cam Ranh, Tho Xuan, and Phu Cat airports in central Vietnam; and Can Tho and Phu Quoc airports in the south.
Passengers will have to pay for all expenses, including airfare, quarantine fees at hotels, transportation from airport to hotel, three meals a day, and COVID-19 testing. Upon arrival at a Vietnamese airport, passengers will be transported to their pre-booked hotel, and they will be tested twice for COVID-19.
