Hanoi (VNA) - Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet Air have adjusted several flights to ensure the safety of passengers and crew due to impacts of Super Typhoon Ragasa.

Accordingly, Vietnam Airlines’ flights between Vietnam and Northeast Asia have been rerouted to avoid the area affected by the storm. At the same time, the national flag carrier has canceled flights between Ho Chi Minh City and Hong Kong (China) on September 23.

As many domestic and international flights on the day may be indirectly affected by Ragasa, Vietnam Airlines Group advised passengers to fasten their seat belts throughout the flights, especially under complex weather conditions.

Flight schedules may continue to be adjusted depending on the actual situation, the airline said, saying it will provide updates through the media and contact information in passengers’ booking records.

For further details and assistance, passengers should visit the website http://www.vietnamairlines.com, use the Vietnam Airlines mobile application, send a message via Zalo at https://zalo.me/3149253679280388721, follow the airline’s official Fanpage, contact ticket offices and official agents, or call the Customer Care Hotline at 1900 1100.

Similarly, Vietjet decided to temporarily suspend four flights: VJ8892/VJ8893 on the Da Nang – Macao (China) – Da Nang route, and VJ876/VJ877 on the HCM City – Hong Kong (China) – HCM City route.

The carrier advised passengers with travel plans during this period to check their flight schedules and weather conditions before going to the airport. Some flights may be temporarily suspended or have their departure times adjusted due to the impact of the typhoon.

The airline also recommended that passengers proactively monitor their flight information under the “My Flights” section on the website http://www.vietjetair.com, through its mobile app, or contact Vietjet at the airport when necessary./.
