Even in the scorching 71°C environment, flight safety remains strictly enforced.

On May 25th, Noi Bai International Airport recorded a record-breaking temperature of 71°C on the concrete surface of the aircraft parking area. However, all safety measures for flights were still strictly implemented.

While Hanoi is experiencing days of intense heat, the weather conditions at Noi Bai International Airport are even more unbearable.

Temperatures in the airport parking area reached record highs at noon on May 25th.

The entire vast airfield, with its large, heat-absorbing concrete surface, resembles a "giant frying pan." Adding to this the heat radiating from the engines of the aircraft in operation, the air becomes scorching and stifling. However, this does not discourage the officers and workers who are tirelessly working day and night on the runway, racing against time to ensure absolute safety for every flight.

Every step to ensure flight safety before takeoff and landing is always carried out meticulously.

For employees working in the airport area, the harsher the weather, the greater the workload and pressure.

During periods of intense heat, they have to speed up their work to ensure that all construction and maintenance projects in the airfield are completed on schedule, avoiding interruptions when the weather suddenly turns stormy or windy.

Airport staff are going around checking and picking up screws that may have accidentally fallen on the runway.

Even in extreme weather conditions, all tasks were carried out regularly and meticulously: maintaining patrols, mowing grass, and dredging drainage systems in preparation for the rainy season; especially the collection of foreign object debris (FOD) to ensure absolute flight safety; maintaining and inspecting the signage and approach lighting systems; painting signal markings and aircraft parking positions to ensure compliance with flight safety standards.

Maintenance workers are repainting the runway markings to ensure safe and smooth aircraft takeoffs and landings.

The unique nature of the aviation industry demands absolute precision. Even with temperatures of 71°C below and the scorching sun above, all procedures are meticulously carried out, strictly adhering to safety protocols.

The team of officers and technicians are responsible for inspecting and maintaining the aircraft before takeoff.

A leader from the Noi Bai Airport Operations Center shared that, in order to ensure the health of employees while still fulfilling their duties and ensuring flight safety, the unit has proactively calculated and arranged flexible shifts, except for unforeseen circumstances that require immediate attention. The health of employees is always the top priority.

Besides regulating working hours scientifically , the Noi Bai International Airport Trade Union also promptly organized visits and gift-giving to further motivate the forces who are working tirelessly at the most challenging "hot spots" of the airport.
