According to the national flag carrier, Air France cancelled two flights under code-share agreement with Vietnam Airlines between Ho Chi Minh City and Paris on June 11 and 12.
The cancellation affected more than 130 passengers who have been transferred to vacant seats on other flights operated by Vietnam Airlines.
