Vietnam's Noi Bai airport to delay opening on Saturday due to typhoon Yagi

Vietnam's civil aviation authority said Hanoi's international airport would open two hours later than planned on Saturday due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi, which is expected to make landfall in Vietnam late on Friday.

Hanoi's Noi Bai airport will be shut from 1000 to 2100 (0300 to 1400 GMT), it said in a statement, adding typhoon Yagi had caused damage when moving through China's Hainan Island and was gaining in intensity.
