AndyGFLees it is not a technical stop but a scheduled stop to set down and take up passengers according to https://booking.qatarairways.com/nsp/views/index.xhtml.

I took the DOH-PNH flight over the new years holiday.
PNH passengers stay onboard in SGN, while there is a crew change and cleaners make their way through the cabin. In my experience the leg to and from PNH is usually pretty empty, except for an additional few stragglers that just join for just the SGN-PNH sector.

Whether passengers remain On-board, I'm not personally sure.
Hopefully someone on the Forum will know.

Transit passengers stay on board. At least we did the couple of times I did it. And it's a tidy up, get rid of the trash and plump the cushions, rather than a deep clean that goes on around you.

I know with EK, passengers in BKK on the DXB-BKK-HKG route stay on the aircraft, but on the DXB-BKK-SYD route they must disembark.

I suspect that in the above example for SYD the disembarkation might be do to with stricter requirements regarding liquids on passengers on inbound flights that cannot be enforced otherwise.

Intelligently, they ask to see your boarding pass at the end of the jetway when you disembark!

It was similar process for me on an RJ flight to BKK (which continues to HKG) - cue chaos at the end of the jet way for most passengers as no one had been warned they would need their boarding passes to get into the airport.

What I was getting at was there may be different requirements for different destinations, whether it be for security or any other reason. The post I replied to indicated that because PNH had a certain rule then so should HAN. No logic there I'm afraid.

By and large on a quick stop the airline will prefer to keep you on board, otherwise getting you back can be like herding cats.
Transit passengers normally attract no aeronautical charge, or a much reduced one, whether they stay on board or not.
