Nguyen Minh Dong, director of the airport, said on Tuesday that the lost items were returned after being discovered during a post-landing clean-up on a Vietnam Airlines flight that had arrived from Ho Chi Minh City at around 2:00 pm on Monday.

A member of the cleaning staff found a black bag left behind on the aircraft.

Upon inspection, airport personnel discovered the bag contained a significant amount of Australian currency and four passports.
