Regarding the case of the passengers burning napkins on flight VN243 from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City this morning (November 2), many people asked: Where did the guests get the fire truck from? Why can flammable items, such as fire trucks, be carried on board?
Exchange with Reporter Dan TriA representative of the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said: The Aviation Administration has defined a list of dangerous items that are prohibited and restricted from carrying people and luggage on board, including lighters.
