Pilots and other staff members at a budget airline have been suspended after one of its flights landed at the wrong airport.
VietJet Air flight VJ 8575, carrying 200 passengers, landed at Cam Ranh airport near the coastal city of Nha Trang instead of Da Lat airport 80 miles away.
The incident occurred "because of the flight coordinators and crew members of VietJet Air, who did not correctly follow flight procedures", the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam said in an online statement.
The body said it had decided "to temporarily suspend the licences" of the flight crew, as well as other staff involved in the mix-up, while an investigation was carried out.
It did not specify how many employees of the airline or airports involved had been suspended, but added that "appropriate measures" towards the airline would also be taken at a later stage.
