All repatriation flights out of Danang had to depart by midnight, Tuesday. Around 80,000 domestic tourists were scheduled to be airlifted out of the central region province.

According to Vietnam Global Portal News, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) granted permission to Bamboo Airways, Pacific Airlines and VietJet Air to carry out more flights from the city to complete the operation by the deadline.

The Ministry also suspended road passenger transport to and from Danang with the exception of essential items such as medicines, food and groceries.
