Talking to VnExpress this morning, a representative of Vietnam Airlines said that immediately after receiving news of the aviation incident in Ukraine, the airline immediately stopped 4 flights scheduled to depart at 11:00 p.m. yesterday Hanoi time, from Hanoi.

After applying for a license, the above 4 flights departed from 4:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. this morning Hanoi time, with a route circumventing Ukrainian airspace.

Countries around the world also warn their airlines at the highest level.

Similarly, in Russia, national airline Aeroflot announced it would no longer fly over Ukraine.

Commercial planes take detours when approaching Ukrainian airspace.

From Türkiye, Turkish Airlines said all its flights have avoided flying over Ukraine.

The US warning system even banned US aircraft from entering Ukraine, according to CNBC.

With the airlines’ announcement, people immediately noticed that Ukrainian airspace was almost clear of aircraft.

While the world’s airlines simultaneously avoided Ukraine, the country announced that it still opened its skies.

Just a few hours after the tragedy occurred, Ukrainian airspace was almost clear of aircraft, leaving only planes of domestic airlines remaining.

In the aviation industry, it is not unusual for commercial flights to pass through a politically tense country like Ukraine, aviation experts said.

Previously, at 10:30 last night Hanoi time, world public opinion was shocked by the news that plane MH17 crashed in Ukraine while on the journey from Amsterdam (Netherlands) to Kuala Lumpar (Malaysia).
