In addition, Pleiku and Phu Cat airports are also required to proactively monitor weather developments and be ready to respond if the storm has unusual developments - according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.
According to the forecast of the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Center, from around 7am to 10am on October 22, the center of storm Fengshen will enter the operating area of the Hanoi Air Traffic Control Center (ACC Hanoi), about 350 km from Dong Hoi Airport, Phu Bai 220 km, Da Nang and Chu Lai 170 km, with strong winds of level 8-9, gusting to level 10-11.
By early morning on October 23, the storm is likely to make landfall in the area from Da Nang to Quang Ngai, causing widespread heavy rain before weakening.
From the evening of October 21 to 24, due to the combined influence of storms and cold air, in areas managed by ACC Hanoi and ACC Ho Chi Minh, there may be strong convective clouds, thunderstorms and disturbances, the cloud peak may be as high as FL470-520.
Some routes through the East Sea will need to be flexibly adjusted to ensure safety.
After the storm weakens and makes landfall, the risk of rain after the storm still exists, so airlines are required to be on duty 24/7 and continuously update meteorological information to organize safe operations.
The Civil Aviation Authority has requested affiliated units, especially the Vietnam Airports Corporation (ACV), to urgently inspect infrastructure systems, communications, stations and key areas in the airport to ensure safety of flight operations, people and property.
Measures to prevent storms, flood, clear water flows and protect vehicles and equipment were also implemented simultaneously, in order to minimize damage and quickly restore aviation activities to serve passengers.
In addition, Typhoon Fengshen is currently affecting Taiwan (China), causing dozens of flights to be canceled or delayed at Taoyuan International Airport on Tuesday (October 21).
The storm's external circulation, combined with the northeast monsoon, caused widespread heavy rain across the island.
Previously, an Emirates cargo plane had a serious problem on the morning of October 20 when landing at Hong Kong (China) airport when Typhoon No. 12 Fengshen was operating near the island.
Tourists planning to travel in East Asia and Southeast Asia by air should pay special attention to weather forecasts and aviation status in the coming days.
