National
flag carrier Vietnam Airlines has started altering its flight routes to
avoid airspace near the Taiwan Strait while China conducts military
drills, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
"Since
August 4, in order to ensure operation and flight safety, Vietnam
Airlines will adjust flight routes between Vietnam and north-east Asia,
including: Japan, Korea, and Taiwan, between Vietnam and the US to avoid
flying over some areas near the island of Taiwan," dpa news agency
quoted the statement as saying.
It is anticipated that at least 36 flight routes operated by Vietnam Airlines will be affected.
China
is currently carrying out live-fire military drills in six coastal
areas around Taiwan following Speaker of the US House of Representatives
Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taiwan.
On Wednesday, Vietnam's Aviation
Authority asked Vietnam Airlines to avoid flying in areas near Taiwan
while China conducts military exercises.
Chinese authorities sent an official notice asking airlines operating in Asia to avoid flying near Taiwan.
