HCM CITY — Many flights to and from Tân Sơn Nhất airport in HCM City were either rescheduled or diverted to land at alternate airports on Wednesday due to bad weather.

All flights from Hải Phòng, Đà Nẵng, Cam Ranh, Vinh, Buôn Ma Thuột, Quảng Nam, Hà Nội, Bangkok (Thailand), Melbourne (Australia) and Cà Mau to HCM City were affected.

According to representatives of airlines, the change of plans due to bad weather is to ensure absolute safety for passengers. The bad weather is expected to continue, so flight plans from these areas may continue to change, they added.

The Vietnam Airlines Group, which comprises Vietnam Airlines, Pacific Airlines and Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO), recommended passengers who are planning to go to and from HCM City during this time should follow the weather forecast and information on the website www.vietnamairlines.com, its fanpage or contact Vietnam Airlines ticket offices across the country or Hotline 1900 1100.

The incident also caused a domino effect to some other Vietjet flights on Wednesday, whose passengers have received support from the low-cost carrier.

The carrier advised customers to track information about flights and specific schedules in the "My flights" section on the website www.vietjetair.com and Vietjet Air mobile app. — VNS
