Typhoon Bualoi: Vietnam’s aviation authority suspends operations at 4 airports

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam suspended operations at four coastal airports, including Danang, on Sunday, as tropical storm Bualoi bore down on the Southeast Asian country. Authorities simultaneously instructed mass evacuations across vulnerable regions. The government warned that northern and central coastal regions face downpours ranging from 100 millimetres to over 600 millimetres through Tuesday, risking flash floods and landslides that threaten lives and infrastructure.

Response measures were swift. State media reported that officials in Danang planned the evacuation of more than 210,000 residents, while Nghe An officials relocated over 6,000 people away from the storm’s path. The aviation authority confirmed widespread flight disruptions: services at Danang were grounded
