VietJet flight lands at wrong airport

The Vietnamese regulator has suspended the flight crew of an aircraft operated by LCC VietJet Air, after a flight bound for the city of Da Lat landed at another airport more than 100 kilometres away.

The aircraft landed at Cam Ranh airport near Nha Trang instead of at Da Lat.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) stated that: “the incident occurred because of the flight co-ordinators and crew members of VietJet Air, who did not correctly follow flight procedures.”

The CAAV also said that “appropriate measures” towards the airline would be taken at a later stage.
