Hanoi (VNA) - The national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines is working hard to increase꧟ security for flights to Europe, which will take place as scheduled, amid a series of bomb attacks in Brussels airport and metro station.
The airline asked its representative offices abroad to strengthen coordination with foreign authorities to increase examination at airports.
