As Tet (Lunar New Year) approaches, scheduled flights
 between Vietnam and numerous locations will be boosted in frequency
 beginning Sunday. The CAAV
 has consented to 14 weekly flights between Hanoi, HCMC, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, and Singapore, and 10 weekly flights between Bangkok and Phnom Penh.
Regular flights between Vietnam and Australia were also permitted to restart on Saturday. Tickets for flights between Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Sydney went on sale Saturday. The CAAV has also proposed to the Ministry of Transport
 that regular commercial flights
 be resumed between Vietnam and France, Germany, Russia and the U.K. at 10 return flights a week. The agency is awaiting the ministry's approval to grant flight slots on these routes
.

For Tet, Vietnam's most significant holiday, millions of migrant workers and expatriate Vietnamese
 are wishing to be able to travel home to reunite with their families. This move is certainly hugely positive news especially during the pandemic when international travels are a luxury.
