27/11/2008 16:39
As many as 15 international flights between Hanoi, Vietnam and Bangkok,
Thailand were canceled yesterday due to Thai protesters blocking Bangkok's
Suvarnabhumi Airport, the Vietnam News reported today.
More than 700
passengers were stranded after already checking in at Noi Bai International
Airport of Vietnam and another 130 at Tan Son Nhat International Airport in Ho
Chi Minh City. Meanwhile, about 500 Vietnamese passengers were also delayed at
Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand.
Passengers who booked tickets on
the canceled flights can give back tickets to Vietnam Airlines in exchange of
receiving a full refund without extra charge, said Thanh.
Flights bound for
Bangkok today have no fixed schedule and have to wait further developments from
the Thai capital, said Vietnam Airlines spokesman Trinh Ngoc Thanh.
Flights
from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City to Bangkok by Thai Airways and Air Asia were
also reportedly canceled.
Vietnam Airlines has set up a hotline at (04)
38320320 for passengers planning to travel to Thailand.
