Vietnam Airlines adjusts operation plan due to impact of Typhoon Doksuri
VOV.VN - National flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has unveiled that it will adjust its operation plan and update the itinerary of flights going both to and from Northeast Asia due to the impact of international storm Doksuri.
Specifically, the affected flights on July 26 include VN303 Narita-Ho Chi Minh City, VN405 Seoul-Ho Chi Minh City, VN440 Nha Trang–Seoul, and VN408 Ho Chi Minh City-Seoul.
Most notably, flights VN570 Ho Chi Minh City and VN580 Ho Chi Minh-Kaohsiung will keep the same departure time and landing 55 minutes later than the planned schedule.
On July 27, several flights had their itinerary adjusted, thereby keeping their departure time unchanged and their landing time delayed from five to 15 minutes.
Furthermore, several flights to and from Taiwan (China) on July 27 will have their departure time altered, including VN571 Taipei-Ho Chi Minh City, VN581 Kaohsiung-Ho Chi Minh City, VN587 Kaohsiung-Hanoi, and VN579 Taipei–Hanoi.
A representative of Vietnam Airlines said that many flights of other airlines will also change their itinerary in order to avoid the storm area, leading to traffic congestion occurring at airports.
The airline therefore recommends that passengers regularly monitor and stay updated on weather conditions and any changes to their itinerary.
