The fact that North Korean President Kim Jong-un in June 2018 flew to Singapore by plane of the Chinese airline Air China instead of a domestic plane caused international public opinion to raise many speculations about the means he would use.
Some people believe that Kim Jong-un can fly on the Chammae-1 special aircraft (pictured) because the distance from Pyongyang to Hanoi is only about 2,700 km, completely within the flight range of this aircraft.
