The foreign pilots along with six members of cabin crew were also suspended from work.
On the same day, a working team of CAAV arrived in Ho Chi Minh City to investigate the incident. The investigation team will decode the black box of the aircraft, read the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) and analyze the flight data recorder (FDR) to clarify the problem.
Initial information showed that torrential rain and blustery winds caused difficulties in taking off and landing. In cases of bad weather, the flight crew may choose to change the direction of landing at an alternate airport.
