Previously, on the afternoon of July 17, Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam - Dinh Viet Thang signed and issued a dispatch to relevant units to continue to proactively prevent, combat and respond to storm No. 1.
To proactively respond to storm No. 1, ensure safety of flights, people and property at airports, and minimize negative impacts on flight operations, Director Viet Thang requested airlines to proactively adjust flight schedules where possible, move flights forward or postpone them after the time of bad weather warnings.
Airlines need to thoroughly educate pilots to comply with safety principles before and after storms, prepare flights to and from Noi Bai, Van Don, Cat Bi international airports, calculate fuel levels, and choose alternate airports from Vinh, Da Nang... onwards, depending on the type of aircraft.
Regarding flight plans, the Director assigned the Air Transport Department, airlines, and related units to arrange 24/7 duty to immediately resolve airlines' proposals to adjust flight schedules due to the storm's impact.
Van Don and Cat Bi international airports need to move aircraft scheduled to land at Van Don and Cat Bi international airports (except in cases of force majeure) to other airports.
Cat Bi International Airport cooperated with Green Planet Aviation Joint Stock Company to tie down aircraft parked at the port to ensure safety in storm prevention work.
