Vietjet comes to people in typhoon-stricken and flooded areas

(Vietjet, HoChiMinh City, Sept 12, 2024) - Vietjet officials and employees were present in flood-affected areas to directly distribute essential items to residents, contributing to helping them overcome difficulties.

Following the launch of a support program for those affected by the floods, on September 12, the Vietjet delegation headed to villages in Ham Yen district (Tuyen Quang province) in collaboration with the local Farmers' Union to visit and provide assistance to households.

Ham Yen is one of the severely affected districts with hundreds of houses flooded, over 1,500 homes isolated, nearly 1,000 hectares of flowers submerged, and swept away by the floods. The estimated total damage in the district amounts to VND36 billion (approx. US$ 1,565 million).

After being isolated and submerged in water for several days, the people of Ham Yen have begun cleaning up their homes, repairing damages to return to normal life. The district has mobilized officials, soldiers, and established volunteer teams to support each household in repairing their homes. Relief supplies are being received and distributed to families.

Expressing gratitude towards the Vietjet team, a resident mentioned that the timely assistance from Vietjet and various organizations nationwide has helped the people stabilize their lives.

Ms. Le Phan Thanh Ha, a Vietjet employee, shared: "Witnessing the losses that the people have endured is extremely heartbreaking. Many families have lost all their belongings to the floods, and some have lost loved ones. They are worried, unsure how to overcome these losses. With the solidarity spirit, I hope that Vietjet's assistance will help them rebuild their lives."

In addition to visiting and gifting the residents, Vietjet has swiftly transported multiple tons of relief supplies donated by people nationwide to the affected areas.

Within just 2 days of announcing the acceptance and free transportation of relief goods for flood-affected communities, Vietjet has transported over 5 tons of supplies from various regions to the northern region. Many more tons of goods are also scheduled for transportation in the next time.

Mr. Tran Quang Hoa, Vice President of Vietjet Cargo, stated that the hotline for receiving relief goods at Vietjet has been constantly ringing with numerous requests for cargo transportation, primarily essential items like food and medicines.

"Understanding the hearts of people nationwide towards flood-affected communities, Vietjet prioritizes getting the goods on flights as soon as possible. Within just 2 days, Vietjet successfully transported over 5 tons of gathered supplies to the northern region for charitable organizations to receive and distribute to provinces," Mr. Hoa said.

On social media, many accounts have shared images of the relief shipments transported by Vietjet free of charge. The account Duong Nguyen from the charity group "Warmth" mentioned that, with the support from many individuals, the group purchased 3,000 bags of fresh porridge, swiftly transported for free by Vietjet, coming to children in the highland regions in the North.

Mr. Vu Quang Xuyen, Vietjet Cargo team leader  at Tan Son Nhat Airport, feels honored to contribute his efforts in receiving relief goods, supporting the community, and takes pride in Vietjet's free transportation of relief goods during this period.

Together with fellow countrymen, many trips, gifts, essential items, and the community spirit of Vietjet employees will continue to reach the people in the affected provinces in the coming days.
