Vietnam Airlines will alter flight routes between Vietnam and Northeast Asia, including Japan, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan (China), and the US from August 4 to avoid the airspace near Taiwan where China conducts military drills.
September 8 will become an annual day for honouring the Vietnamese language under a decision signed by Deputy Prime Minister Pham Binh Minh on the approval of a project to honour it among the Vietnamese community abroad in the 2023-2030 period.
Airlines of Vietnam will adjust their flight paths in the next few days to avoid the areas near Taiwan where China plans to hold military exercises, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).
The first flight on Vietravel Airlines’ new route linking Ho Chi Minh City to the south central province of Binh Dinh’s Quy Nhon city took off on January 21.
