HANOI: Van Don International Airport in Quang Ninh province will halt all aircraft operations from 4am to 4pm on Saturday (Sept 7).
This temporary suspension comes as a precautionary measure against the looming threat of Super Typhoon Yagi, which is expected to bring intense winds and severe weather, posing a significant risk to airport safety.
Two scheduled Vietnam Airlines flights, set to land at 8:05am and depart at 8:50am on Saturday, will be cancelled as a result.
The airport is working closely with Vietnam Airlines to notify affected passengers and relevant service providers.
In preparation for the storm, Van Don International Airport is undertaking several protective measures, including securing equipment, dredging drainage systems and activating storm response plans as outlined by provincial authorities.
