Assembled were specialized departments of CAAV, the
Northern Airports Authority, and leaders from various entities in the aviation
sector, including the Airports Corporation of Vietnam, the Vietnam Air Traffic
Management Corporation, Vietnam Airlines, VietJet Air, Bamboo Airways, and
Viettravel Airlines, along with leaders of airports in the typhoon-affected
regions.
After hearing the forecast from the Aviation
Meteorological Center under the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation and
reports from relevant units, Director General Đinh Việt Thắng assessed that
Typhoon YAGI has intensified into a super typhoon. Its path is highly
unpredictable, and it is certain to make landfall in Vietnam, significantly
affecting civil aviation operations, particularly at northern airports such as
Nội Bài International Airport, Vân Đồn, Cát Bi, and Thọ Xuân.
Preliminary estimates suggest that Typhoon YAGI may
impact approximately 240 domestic flights and 70 international flights.
To prioritize the absolute safety of civil aviation
operations and minimize the storm's impact on civilians and aviation
infrastructure, Director General Đinh Việt Thắng has ordered a temporal
suspension of flight operations at airports in the affected areas on September
7, 2024. Specific details are as follows:
At Vân Đồn International Airport, flight operations
will be suspended from 4:00 AM to 4:00 PM on September 7, 2024.
At Cát Bi Airport, flight operations will be suspended
from 5:00 AM to 4:00 PM on September 7, 2024.
At Nội Bài International Airport, flight operations
will be suspended from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on September 7, 2024.
At Thọ Xuân Airport, flight operations will be
suspended from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM on September 7, 2024.
Director General Đinh Việt Thắng has instructed
airlines to proactively inform passengers about these changes to help them
adjust their travel plans accordingly. He also directed the CAAV's Air
Transport Department to review and grant additional flight permits to airlines
starting September 8, 2024, to accommodate post-storm travel demands.
Additionally, the Director General has called on the
Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation to mobilize 100% of its personnel
and equipment to ensure accurate meteorological forecasting at airports,
promptly providing reliable weather information on the storm's impact.
Airport authorities and air traffic management units
in affected regions must concentrate all resources on implementing preventive
measures to protect airport infrastructure and aircraft on the ground, while
strictly adhering to local storm prevention plans.
The Airports Authority is to take an active role in
disaster prevention efforts at airports, ensuring compliance with regulations
and performing inspections as required.
Once the storm has passed, all units are to mobilize
resources to quickly restore normal operations. However, special attention must
be paid to the lingering effects of the storm, including heavy rainfall that
may cause flooding at airports such as Điện Biên and Vinh.
All entities in the aviation sector must rigorously
follow these directives and maintain regular reporting to ensure that CAAV
departments and leaders are fully informed and can issue timely instructions as
necessary./.
