VASCO, a unit of the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines, apologized for the cancelations, but did not say what caused the cancellations.
The air services company said, after cancelling the flights, it has offered other plans to serve passengers, as well as to compensate passengers, as required in Circular 14/2015 of the Ministry of Transport regarding flight cancellations.
This is not the first time VASCO has canceled flights due to technical problems. Last year, the company had cancelled flights because of bad weather and technical problems.
VASCO operates short routes to local airports with short runways, such as Con Dao, Ca Mau and Rach Gia, while mainly flying smaller aircraft, such as the ATR 72.
