HO CHI MINH CITY -- Vietnamese authorities have halted Vietjet Aviation's planned increase in flights following a series of aircraft safety incidents, putting the country's largest budget airline under supervision as the Tet holiday season nears.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said this week it will stop adding new flights to Vietjet's operational schedule. CAAV also will re-evaluate Vietjet's operations at four airports: Noi Bai in Hanoi, Danang International in central Vietnam, Tan Son Nhat in Ho Chi Minh City and Cam Ranh in the south-central region.
