Thick fog forced many flights to divert landing
Speaking to Lao Dong on January 25, a representative of the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) said that according to the Noi Bai Aviation Meteorological Center, on the morning of January 24, 2025, dense fog appeared at Tho Xuan and Vinh airports, forcing 7 flights to change their landing route. After the weather improved, flights could return to land at these two airports as originally planned.
“This weather phenomenon is not unusual during the period from late January to February – the peak time of drizzle and low clouds in the Northern region. Additional cold waves from the east and southeast have created conditions for maintaining cold, humid air currents, leading to drizzle, fog and low cloud ceilings lasting throughout the day, greatly affecting flight operations at airports in the Northern region,” said a VATM representative.

Gold prices increase sharply on the first day of Tet holiday, still difficult to buy
According to Lao Dong reporters at 9:15 a.m. on January 25, at some gold shops in Hanoi, people's demand for gold has not decreased. Many people choose to line up in front of the door to wait to buy gold. However, most of the shops announced that they do not have SJC gold bars and limited the number of 9999 round gold rings for sale.
At a gold shop on Tran Nhan Tong Street (Hanoi), Ms. Nguyen Lan Nhi (Hai Ba Trung District, Hanoi) said: "Many times I came here to queue, but could not buy gold rings because the shop did not sell them. Today I came early, the staff announced that they would sell 2 taels of gold to each person. Currently, in front, there are also many people lining up. I am still waiting for my turn to make a transaction."
