Due to the impact of Typhoon Wipha (storm No. 3) in Hong Kong (China), Viet Nam Airlines Group — including Viet Nam Airlines, Pacific Airlines, and Vietnam Air Services Company (VASCO) — will adjust the operation plan of some flights to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

Typhoon Wipha is approaching northern Viet Nam as it hit China’s Leizhou Peninsula and was about 275km to the east of the Quang Ninh – Hai Phong coast at 4am on July 21.

With tropical storm Wipha approaching Viet Nam's northern coast, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has urged commune-level Party committees and authorities to put lives first or face accountability for any deaths or property loss due to negligence.

Tropical storm Wipha is closing in on northern Viet Nam, with its erratic path prompting urgent preparations in Quang Ninh province and the port city of Hai Phong to safeguard residents, infrastructure, and economic assets ahead of an anticipated landfall.
