Will Operate Humanitarian Charter Flight From Hanoi To Prague For EU Citizens
On March 25, in cooperation with the Czech Embassy in Vietnam, Bamboo Airways operated a humanitarian charter flight from Hanoi to Prague - the capital city of the Czech Republic to repatriate European citizens.
Simultaneously, the flight also transported medical aid goods provided by the Vietnamese Government to the Czech Republic to support the republic in addressing a shortage of medical equipment as the Covid-19 situation worsens.
Bamboo Airways used its wide-body Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to operate this special flight, which departed at 8:20 am on March 25 from Noi Bai International Airport - Hanoi to Prague, Czech Republic, carrying 280 Czech and European passengers.
The flight was the first non-stop flight of a Vietnamese domestic airline to the Czech Republic thanks to the cooperation between the Czech Embassy in Vietnam and Bamboo Airways. It is even more meaningful when serving social and humanitarian purposes when the whole world is joining hands in the fight against Covid-19.
To minimize the risk of disease transmission, Bamboo Airways' representatives said that the Airline strictly and comprehensively complies with the regulations, recommendations of the domestic and foreign authorities. The flight crew, service and technical staff for this flight are experienced and highly specialized personnels who were carefully selected and trained to ensure maximum health safety for passengers and crew. The Airline also coordinated with authorities to check the health of all passengers before boarding.
After returning from Prague, the aircraft will be disinfected in the entire cockpit, passenger and cargo compartments according to the highest standards to prevent the risk of virus infection.
The operation of this flight shows the efforts in accompanying diplomatic agencies and passengers in the context of Covid-19. Bamboo Airways expects the flight Hanoi - Prague will also practically contribute to strengthening the Vietnam - Czech Republic relationship and cooperation, especially in 2020 when the two countries are celebrating 70 years of establishing diplomatic relations.
