Vietnam Airlines Group has announced that it will provide free transport of relief goods on flights operated by its members - Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, and Vasco - from September 10, in a bid to support those affected by Typhoon Yagi in northern provinces.

A Vietjet Air flight carrying 10 tonnes of relief goods worth 616,100 EUR (720,000 USD), donated by German friends and Vietnamese people living in the country, is scheduled to depart from Hamburg for Ho Chi Minh City on August 19.

Vietnamese carriers and the railway sector have carried out a wide range of activities to support central localities where people are suffering heavy losses from devastating floods.
