National carrier Vietnam Airline founded and returned over US$250,000 worth of cash and thousands of valuable items in the first three quarters, the company said in a report.

On flight VN125 from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and flight VN7210 in the opposite direction on Monday, Vietnam Airlines’ flight attendants repeatedly found precious assets left by customers on the planes.

The cabin crew identified a black bag at the seat 7G of the business class section during their examination after the VN125 landed.

There were a Samsung mobile phone, an identity card, a boarding pass, and cash valued at VDN74,150,000 ($3,183) and $275 inside the bag, which is branded Louis Vuitton.

On the round-trip flight VN7210 to Hanoi, the crew again found an unattended purse containing an iPhone, headphones, a battery charger, some bank cards, and important documents.

All the belongings were handed over to the owner later.

Vietnam Airlines said it had founded and returned over VND6 billion ($257,558) in cash and nearly 6,700 valuable things to its passengers in January-September.

To avoid risky circumstances, such as forgetting properties and personal documents on an airplane, customers should check all things in the tray-tables and overhead lockers carefully before leaving, the carrier said.

Passengers are advised to contact the Lost & Found Department, airline representatives, and security forces for more support in case of any property loss.
