VietNamNet Bridge – On June 19, Saigon Air taxi handed over lost luggage, including VND400 million ($20,000) in cash and other valuable assets to a passenger.



Earlier, Ms. Nguyen Thi Minh Thu, 42, and her daughter flew from Kon Tum to HCM City on June 19. They took a cab of Saigon Air taxi from the Tan Son Nhat Airport to Tan Binh District. The driver is Mr. Tran Van Qui.

Getting off the cab, the two passengers left a handbag, containing VND400 million, an Ipad, a HD Sony camera, a massage machine and some other belongings.

Returning to the airport, driver Qui cleaned his car and discovered the handbag. He called Saigon Air’s switchboard to ask for the phone number of the passenger. However, as the passengers directly got the cab, and not calling the switchboard, they did not have her phone number.

The passenger was so tired so she did not remember about her handbag until late afternoon. She also did not remember where she left her handbag. She tried her luck to call Saigon Air and was unexpected that the kind-hearted driver was waiting to return her handbag.

Qui has worked for Saigon Air for over four years and he several times returned lost luggage to passengers.
