Hanoi (VNA) – The information that aflight from Japan to Vietnam had to return on February17 night as it was denied entry was not correct, according to the Civil AviationAuthority of Vietnam (CAAV).

A representative of the CAAV told the Vietnam NewsAgency (VNA) on February 18 that many flights to northern airports on February 17 night could not land due to thick fog.

A passenger flight operated by Japan’s All NipponAirways (ANA) departing from Narita airport was planned to land at Da Nang airport incentral Da Nang city or Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh City if it could not land at Noi Bai airport in Hanoi as scheduled.

The selection of the alternate airport would be decidedby the flight crew after consulting the air traffic controller.

Many flights had to be diverted and landed at the Da Nangairport on February 17 night, preventing it from receiving no more flights. Thefight from Japan, therefore, should be diverted to the Tan Son Nhat airport.

However, public security officers at the Tan Son Nhat airport toldthe CAAV that they had not received any suggestion for entry from airlines for theirdiverted flights although the airport still could handle them.

“We think that the captain and the carrier decidedthemselves to return to Japan,” the representative said.

The CAAV has been contacting the ANA representativeat the Tan Son Nhat airport to verify the information, but yet to receive its response./.
