COVID19: Vietnam Airlines to Check Temperature of All Passengers Departing Europe

In attempt to help curb the spread of COVID19, Vietnam Airlines will conduct temperature checks of all passengers departing from Europe prior to embarkation and provide them with face masks to be worn throughout the flights.

The airline says it also recommends passengers to remain seated and refrain from movement and communication once onboard.

Vietnam Airlines disinfects all aircraft returning from overseas. Aircraft, including their entire cabins, cockpits, and galley areas, are disinfected as soon as they arrived at the apron with added focus attached to not only frequently touched surfaces such as overhead compartment locks, armrests, and lavatory doorknobs, but also seat covers, carpets, floors, and other potential areas of direct contact.

The disinfectant used is CH2200, a compound approved by aircraft manufacturers that meets the standards stipulated by health authorities and poses no health risks to passengers.

As far as domestic flights are concerned, Vietnam Airlines says it "frequently disinfects" touched surfaces on aircraft after each flight.

Headphones are disinfected with the Chloramine B solution. Other equipment that passengers may be exposed to,  including passenger boarding ridges, boarding staircases, and wheelchairs, at the Noi Bai Airport and the Tan Son Nhat Airport are also disinfected with appropriate solutions on a "regular basis".
