Two Vinh - Hanoi flights postponed due to the impact of storm No. 1
(Baonghean.vn) - Passengers on the Vinh - Hanoi flight have been notified by the airport and airlines about this incident. Compensatory flights will be restored after the storm passes.
Due to the impact of storm No. 1, the Northern Airports Authority has directed Noi Bai, Van Don, and Cat Bi airports to temporarily stop receiving aircraft on July 18.
Specifically, Noi Bai Airport (Hanoi) will stop receiving flights from 11am to 8pm on July 18, Van Don Airport (Quang Ninh) and Cat Bi Airport (Hai Phong) will stop from 9am to 7pm on July 18. The reason is that Quang Ninh and Hai Phong are likely to be directly affected by storm Talim, while Hanoi will be affected by the distance, with clouds, thunderstorms, and reduced visibility.
Due to the impact of storm No. 1, flights from Vinh to Hanoi on July 18 will also be delayed. As for the remaining two airports, Van Don (Quang Ninh) and Cat Bi (Hai Phong), Vinh airport has not yet operated these routes.
A representative of Vinh International Airport said: After receiving instructions from the Northern Airport Authority, the unit coordinated to postpone two flights, including VN1717 and VN1718 of Vietnam Airlines, other airlines did not operate the Vinh - Hanoi route.
Specifically, flight VN1717 to Hanoi - Vinh takes off from Hanoi at 5:00 p.m. on July 18 and is expected to land in Vinh at 5:50 p.m.; flight VN1718 to Vinh - Hanoi will take off from Vinh at 6:45 p.m. on July 18. These two flights are estimated to have about 300 passengers.
A representative of Vietnam Airlines branch in Nghe An said that due to unsafe weather conditions, the flight was necessary to postpone and the flight will depart again when the storm passes. Currently, the unit has widely notified all passengers of flights VN1717 and VN1718 through many forms such as texting, calling, and announcing on the airport loudspeaker. All passenger rights are guaranteed according to regulations, the time of resumption of flights will be notified to passengers as soon as possible.
Vinh International Airport recommends that passengers planning to travel to and from airports in storm-affected areas regularly update weather and information from airlines to arrange their time appropriately.
