In response to Typhoon Wipha, the third to hit the East Sea this year, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) has decided to temporarily suspend the reception and operation of aircraft at airports located within the affected areas on July 21 and 22.

Typhoon Wipha has made landfall in northern Vietnam, prompting large-scale emergency preparedness, after deadly floods and heavy rain in the Philippines left at least five dead and thousands displaced.
