This is part of the efforts to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to its documents recently sent to competent authorities, the CAAV said that without e-health declaration, passengers will be denied to fly, while airlines which fail to follow the regulation will have to bear legal responsibility.
In a document recently sent to competent authorities, the CAAV required airlines to instruct their passengers fulfill the health declaration at https://tokhaiyte.vn or through the Vietnam Health Declaration application.
Besides, airlines should arrange staff at check-in kiosks at terminals to support passengers in the e-health declaration procedure.
They should join hands with airports nationwide to inform passengers of the mandatory declaration through passenger information systems, posters and panels at easy-to-see places in airports.
Earlier, many passengers failed to make e-health declaration before coming to the security screening checkpoints at Noi Bai International Airport.
On March 30, 1,447 passengers did not fulfill e-health declaration, while the number recorded on March 31 was 712. About 80 percent of them completed check-in procedures via website and at kiosks./.
