Cam Ranh airport welcomes first int’l flight amid COVID-19 pandemic

A flight carrying 37 experts from the Republic of Korea landed the Cam Ranh international airport in central Khanh Hoa province on September 18.

The flight of the RoK’s Asiana Airlines had been licensed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Viet Nam (CAAC).

All the passengers work for a shipbuilding in Viet Nam.

This is the first international flight to the airport which has been open to handle repatriation flights since late April when the fourth COVID-19 wave hit Viet Nam.

The same day, 30 Korean nationals took the return flight from the airport to Incheon.

Cam Ranh airport has been upgraded at a cost of US$17.4 million and is ready for the re-opening of international routes to the central province.
