The agreement will allow any EU airlines to provide flights between any EU member state and Việt Nam under their bilateral agreement.

The document will supposedly remove restrictions in bilateral air services agreements between Việt Nam and EU member states.

Minister-Chairman of the Office of Government (OOG) Nguyễn Xuân Phúc was assigned to seal the agreement with a competent EU representative.

The Government chief also gave a permission to temporally apply the agreement right after the signing.
