Dog delays arrival at Da Nang airport
Tuesday, November 14, 2023, 21:04 GMT+7
A plane departing from Hanoi delayed landing at Da Nang International Airport in the namesake city, located in central Vietnam, on Monday when a dog ran into the airport.
The dog was found in the apron area of the airport at 2:58 pm on the same day.
Airport workers quickly chased the animal to avoid obstructing the operation of the airport, but the dog ran around the facility and onto some taxiways and runways.
Meanwhile, flight VN173 taking off from Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi was nearing the Da Nang City-based airport, so it was requested to delay its landing.
After the dog was captured at 3:25 pm, the plane made a safe landing at the airport at 3:36 pm.
Several local airports such as Noi Bai, Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City, Tho Xuan in north-central Thanh Hoa Province, Cam Ranh in south-central Khanh Hoa Province, and Da Nang sometimes face incursions by animals and runaway dogs.
According to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, the entry of dogs, cats, and other animals to the grounds of airports through holes on fences poses a threat to flight safety and security.
As such, the authority repeatedly asks airport officials to regularly check fences surrounding the airports.
