One of the sources said the termination was due to high operational costs linked to foreign crew and maintenance services, and regulatory constraints under Vietnam's aviation laws. Vietjet had an agreement for the jets to be operated by crew from China's Chengdu Airlines, Reuters has reported.
Thats a tough requirement for an airline to employ another company's crew.
