Description

Vietjet abruptly grounded its leased Chinese COMAC C909 jets after just six months, nixing what was hailed as a landmark political and economic move between Vietnam and China. High operational costs, including foreign crew and maintenance, grounded the deal despite COMAC's ambitions to expand into Southeast Asia. Was this short-lived venture a sign of trouble for China's aviation ambitions, or just a costly experiment for Vietjet?
