Reason for plane to Hanoi emergency landing at Da Nang airport

(NLDO)- Flight VN 1602 from Buon Ma Thuot to Hanoi just landed at Da Nang airport at 11:19 on January 11 to rescue passengers.

Nearly an hour after the flight from Buon Ma Thuot to Hanoi operated by Airbus A321 took off, passenger TDH sitting in seat 17E (Vietnamese nationality) had health problems. On the flight, 2 passengers who were doctors came to examine him and concluded that his pulse was too fast and he needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.

The captain of the flight immediately notified the Vietnam Airlines operations center and requested to land at Da Nang airport according to the wishes of passenger TDH to receive timely medical support.

Flight VN 1602 immediately took off to continue its journey to Hanoi at 12:08, 2 hours later than planned.

Vietnam Airlines has repeatedly delayed flights or made emergency landings in cases where passengers had serious health problems and needed timely assistance.

A representative of Vietnam Airlines said that although redirecting a flight to make an emergency landing always consumes a lot of resources and costs for rescheduling flights, refueling, ground services, etc., the safety and health of passengers is always the airline's top priority.
