Subject Concerned: Flight Delay Airport
A fire at Vietnam's biggest airport has closed its domestic terminal.
The blaze at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City broke out early this morning inside the terminal building.
A statement released by the Southern Airport Authority says firefighters battled for two hours to bring the fire under control.
Pictures broadcast on the state-run Vietnamese Television network showed a blackened terminal building with several broken windows, but the full extent of the damage is not immediately clear.
No one was injured in the fire, but operations at the airport were disrupted.
The airport authority says domestic flights are now operating out of the international terminal.
