                      Vietnam Airlines Customer Service Plan

                      Vietnam Airlines Customer Service Plan

                      Vietnam Airlines is in business to provide safe and friendly air transportation to our customers along with numerous related services. Your safety, comfort and convenience are our most important concerns. For customer’s benefits, we address a number of services in Vietnam Airlines Customer Service Plan while you take Vietnam Airlines’ flights.

                      1. Treat passengers fairly and consistently in the case of oversales

                      Occasionally, we may not be able to provide you with a seat on a specific flight even if you hold a ticket and check in on time. This is called an oversale, and it occurs if the number of customers who check in (ready to board) exceeds the number of available seats.

                      If you voluntarily give up your seat, we provide compensation and transportation on an alternate flight. A notice which explains the obligations and the compensation in an amount pursuant to Vietnam Airlines’ policy will be given to you.

                      If you are involuntarily denied boarding, we also provide compensation and transportation on an alternate flight. A notice which explains the obligations and the compensation in an amount determined by Vietnam Airlines will be given to you.

                      The policies and procedures that we follow ensure you receive fair and consistent treatment if such oversales occur.

                      2. Take responsibility for baggage damage

                      If your checked baggage may be damaged or does not come off the conveyor belt, please file a report with our Lost and Found Counter located at the arrival station, as soon as possible. Our staff or handling agent will provide you with assistance.

                      Our responsibility for the damaged baggage and cargo is specified in article 16 of conditions of carriage of Vietnam Airlines and chapter VIII of conditions of cargo carriage of Vietnam Airlines.

                      3. Provide information of Air Tickets Cancellation/Refund or Change

                      4.2. Services provided while passengers are on board for flights to/from Republic of Korea

                      On the very few occasions where flights are delayed whilst passengers are on board (known as a tarmac delay) we will take all reasonable steps to ensure you are made as comfortable as possible. For those flights encountering a tarmac delay at airports in the Republic of Korea, we want to give our passengers the following assurances:

                      1. We will not permit any irregular on-ground delays of four (4) hours or more at airports in the Republic of Korea without allowing passengers to deplane.
                      2. When a delay exceeding four (4) hours is expected, the flight will return to the gate to provide passengers an opportunity to deplane safely, unless:
                        • When the pilot-in-command determines that the safety and security of the passengers are not guaranteed (e.g., due to weather conditions, air traffic control issues or government directive); or
                        • When air traffic control advises that returning to the gate or deplaning passengers at a location other than the gate would significantly disrupt airport operations.
                      3. In the event of a lengthy on-ground delay, we will provide adequate food and drinking water no later than two hours after the aircraft leaves the gate or touches down unless our pilot-in-command determines such service threatens safety or security.
                      4. You will receive notifications regarding the status off the tarmac delay every 30 minutes while the aircarft is delayed, including the reason for the delay (if known).
                      5. We have sufficient reasonable resources to implement the plan.
                      6. We have coordinated its station tarmac delay contingency plan with the airport operators of Republic of Korea and related agencies including the immigration services authorities for the compliance of tarmac delay.
                      7. In the event that you are on a flight operated by one of Vietnam Airlines’ code-share partners, the operating carrier’s contingency plan for tarmac delays of four (4) hours or more will apply.

                      5. Notify customers in a timely manner of changes in itineraries

                      We will notify in a timely manner of changes on your flight when there is a change so as not to affect your itineraries. We will contact you about the schedule changes when the event is known, using the contact information you provide us in your reservation.
