Vietnamese airline, Bamboo Airways has flown to Lithuania for the first time to operate a repatriation flight for Europeans from Vietnam and Thailand.
Due to the current crisis affecting the aviation industry, many foreigners stranded from their home countries, so a number of carriers have been drafted to bring their citizens back. Bamboo Airways utilised a Boeing 737, flying from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and stopping at Bangkok (BKK) in order to pick up more passengers who needed transport back to Europe.
The airline also operated a flight to Prague – its first European flight – to repatriate European nationals as well as transporting those stuck in Vietnam to their home countries.
Precautions were implemented throughout these flights including disinfecting the entire aircraft before to ensure it was as safe as possible. Passengers were provided with compulsory facemasks and had to undergo health checks, requiring s medical declaration before departure.
