Vietnamese agencies in and outside the country have coordinated with the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, and agencies of Australia and New Zealand to arrange the flight to bring the citizens home. Passengers were mostly children under 18, the elderly, pregnant women, those with illnesses, and workers and students made homeless after their working contracts ended or campus closed. After landing at the Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City, crew members and passengers had their body temperature checked and went under quarantine as regulated.
