Hue airport runway maintenance delayed by a week

Vietnam Airlines has said flights to Hue will continue for a week longer than it announced earlier since maintenance of runways at Phu Bai airport has been delayed until May 13.
It had said earlier that flights to the central city from Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi will cease from May 5 to June 5 for the maintenance.

However, the Ministry of Transport of Vietnam, which will carry out the maintenance, has put off the work to May 13-June 13.

During the maintenance period, visitors to Hue have to fly to Danang and then take a bus or taxi.

Vietnam Airlines also said it plans to begin flights from Da Lat and Nha Trang to Hue after the airport reopens.  -Tuoitre
