Mr. Phuong said that according to Decision No. 1531 / QD-CHK of July 11, 2017 of the Vietnam Civil Aviation Administration, the list of prohibited dangerous items, restricted to transport people and luggage in the plane. As of September 1, 2017, each person can carry 1 lighter on board for personal use with conditions included. (However, passengers may not use lighters or smoke on airplanes because they can cause fires or explosions.)

When working with related parties, port authorities determined that the male passenger carrying a small lighter on flight VN243 on the morning of November 2 was not violating regulations. Therefore, the force in charge of aviation security check at Noi Bai Airport is not at fault in this case.

The Northern Airport Authority worked with stakeholders and passengers in the incident. The passenger is an official who continues to work, has a cooperative attitude of work, mentality, full conscience.

Through initial work, this person said they used a napkin to clean the lighter. This is a type of lighter that ignites with an electrical spark, so passengers accidentally light the lighter, sneaking in, and causing the napkin to burn.
