According to weather forecasts, widespread heavy rain affected central Vietnam from November 8 through the night of November 11, particularly Hue, Danang and neighbouring provinces.
The downpours and thunderstorms reduced visibility and disrupted airport operations, requiring close weather monitoring and careful air traffic management.
The Central Region Air Traffic Services Company reported that several intense thunderstorms struck Danang International Airport on November 9, reducing visibility and affecting aircraft take-offs and landings.
That day, 12 flights were forced to circle while awaiting clearance to land, and four had to make another landing attempt at Danang International Airport.
Another flight had to make a second landing attempt at Phu Bai International Airport in Hue City.
Despite continued warnings of heavy rain across central Vietnam on November 10, no weather-related flight disruptions were recorded that day.
The company said it had stepped up weather monitoring, strengthened coordination among air traffic service units and prepared contingency plans to handle changing conditions.
It added that flight safety remained its top priority, with air traffic controllers maintaining heightened readiness to ensure safe and efficient operations during adverse weather.
