HCM City (VNS/VNA) – Ho Chi Minh City-based Tan Son Nhat International Airport is seeking permission from the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) to repair a severely downgraded runway at night. If approved, runway 25R/07L, one of the airport’s two runways, is expected to be closed from midnight to 7am daily between February 27 and March 9. It is only a precursor of some major renovation that has been planned. The work would be funded by the airport’s own resources, a spokesperson said. There are visible cracks and deformation on the runway, with airplane wheel marks scarring its surface.  Worse still, subsidence of its surface poses a potential threat to aircraft safety, according to airport authorities. The runway is designed to handle wide-bodied aircraft used for long-haul flights for 10 years or 55,100 take-offs and landings. But in less than five years, by April 2018, there had been a total of 126,000 take-offs and landings.   … [Read more...] about Tan Son Nhat airport seeks to close runway for repairs
