Nghe An – Bad weather conditions with dense fog have forced many flights from/to Vinh International Airport in the central province of Nghe An to change their routes on February 19-20.

Nghiem Manh Tuan, Director of the airport, said that from February 19 morning to February 20 morning, seven flights have had to change their routes, affecting 1,300 passengers.

Of this, five flights were guided to land at Da Nang International Airport in Da Nang city, while the remaining two had to land at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi.
