Noi Bai, Cat Bi, and Van Don international airports reopen
VOV.VN - The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has unveiled that it has recently decided to reopen three airports in the northern region based on the actual situation of Typhoon Talim.
The move comes after Typhoon Talim made landfall on the afternoon of July 18 in northern coastal provinces and weakened.
Accordingly, the CAAV reopened Hanoi-based Noi Bai International Airport from 3 p.m. on July 18, while Van Don International Airport in the northern province of Quang Ninh and Cat Bi International Airport in Hai Phong resumed operation from 16:00 p.m. as weather conditions now ensure flight operations in a safe manner.
The CAAV has directed natural disaster response and rescue forces to be on duty around the clock as a means of ensuring the absolute safety for people and vehicles on the airport apron.
Previously, in response to storm Talim, the CAAV requested that the Northern Airports Authority (NAA) move to suspend aircraft arrivals and departures at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi from 11:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. on July 18, at Van Don International Airport in Quang Ninh province from 9:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m. on July 18, and at Cat Bi International Airport in Hai Phong city from 9:00 a.m. to 19:00 p.m. on July 18.
