News from Noi Bai International Airport, on the afternoon of June 10, when flight AXM512 from Kuala Lumpur was preparing to land at Noi Bai International Airport, the flight crew suddenly discovered three kites flying near the beginning of runway 29 (11L/29R) - a particularly sensitive location in the flight safety corridor.
Immediately after receiving information from the flight crew via the Air Traffic Control Tower, the Noi Bai International Airport Emergency Command Center immediately issued a warning and mobilized functional forces to coordinate in handling the emergency situation. Noi Bai Police Station, together with aviation security and local authorities, quickly inspected the field in the communes near the east end of the runway.
In Bac Gia village (Phu Lo commune, Soc Son district), authorities discovered four children flying kites. Three kites were confiscated, the children and their guardians were warned, a report was made and awareness about aviation safety corridors was raised.
Even a small kite hitting an airplane engine can have serious consequences.
According to a representative of Noi Bai International Airport, the recent incident once again warns of the level of risk from seemingly harmless recreational activities.
"Even a small kite, if it hits the wing or gets into the plane's engine during landing, can cause serious consequences. This is the most sensitive stage of the flight, and any strange flying object poses a high risk," a representative of Noi Bai airport warned.
Previously, Noi Bai International Airport and the Northern Airport Authority proactively sent official dispatches to the authorities of neighboring communes, requesting to strengthen propaganda and strictly control the acts of flying kites, balloons, sky lanterns, flycams, etc. within a radius of 8km around the airport - an area within the flight safety corridor according to legal regulations.
In particular, during the summer vacation - the peak season for kite flying activities - the risk of violations tends to increase. Noi Bai International Airport continues to call on localities to coordinate regularly, inspect and widely disseminate information to ensure absolute safety for flights, protect the lives of passengers and the stability of aviation operations.
