The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has requested that Van Don, Cat Bi, Noi Bai, and Tho Xuan airports temporarily close on September 7 to respond to storm No. 3 (storm Yagi).

At a meeting on measures to prevent, combat and respond to storm No. 3 in the late afternoon of September 5, after listening to the Aviation Meteorological Center under the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation forecast the development of storm Yagi and reports from units in the industry, Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam Dinh Viet Thang assessed that this is a very strong storm, with very complicated developments.

Storm No. 3 will certainly make landfall in Vietnam, especially directly affecting civil aviation activities at airports in the Northern region including: Noi Bai, Van Don, Cat Bi, Tho Xuan.

According to preliminary estimates, Typhoon Yagi could affect about 240 domestic flights and 70 international flights.

With the highest goal of ensuring absolute safety for civil aviation activities, minimizing the storm's impacts on passenger lives and equipment and facilities of units in the industry, Director Dinh Viet Thang has decided to temporarily suspend receiving and operating aircraft at airports in the storm-affected area on September 7.

Specifically, the temporary suspension time is as follows: Van Don Airport from 4am to 4pm; Cat Bi Airport from 5am to 4pm; Noi Bai Airport from 10am to 7pm; Tho Xuan Airport from 12pm to 10pm.

Mr. Dinh Viet Thang requested that airlines proactively notify passengers of the above information so that they can have appropriate travel plans. At the same time, he assigned the Air Transport Department - Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam to consider granting additional flight permits to airlines from September 8 to ensure meeting the travel needs of passengers after the storm.

In addition, the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam also requested:

Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation focuses 100% of human resources and equipment to ensure aviation meteorological forecasting at airports to promptly provide accurate forecast information on the impact of storms.

Airports and regional air traffic management companies focus all resources on implementing measures to prevent and combat the impact of storms on the technical infrastructure of the ports and aircraft on the apron, and at the same time, strictly implement local storm prevention and control plans.

Airport authorities directly participate in disaster prevention and control at airports and perform inspection and supervision tasks according to regulations.

After the storm has passed, units will focus resources on carrying out tasks to bring mining activities back to normal. However, special attention should be paid to the impact of storm circulation and prolonged heavy rains that could cause flooding at airports such as Dien Bien and Vinh./.
