Phu Cat Airport
The disruption was reported to Binh Dinh Provincial People’s Committee on April 7.
"No flights will be able to take off or land during that time," the airport said, adding that the drills have occurred more often recently, badly affecting the operations of many airlines.
Phu Cat Airport has proposed to Binh Dinh Provincial People's Committee that they should communicate with the military in order to adjust their exercises so they do not affect the operations of so many flights
Many airlines and travel companies have also complained about the military activities at Phu Cat Airport.
Speaking with the VietNamNet Newspaper, Doan Tuan, head of the Domestic Tour Department at Hanoi Toserco Company said that they had just received the announcement from Phu Cat Airport and had to adjust all the tours to Binh Dinh Province during that time.
"We’ve booked flights and hotels for two MICE groups with 300 passengers on April 15 and 16," Tuan said. "Now the flights have been cancelled due to the exercises and Vietnam Airlines has had to arrange new flights which will land in Tuy Hoa Airport in neighbouring Phu Yen Province. This will affect passenger schedules, while we have to pay additional transportation costs.
Vietnam Airlines has also issued announcements and instructions on the adjustment of flights to and from Phu Cat Airport from April 12-25. Most of the flights from Phu Cat will be moved to Tuy Hoa Airport while some others will have departure or landing times changed.
The airline will support passengers who want to cancel or adjust their flight time.
