Thai VietJet Air at risk of overseas service halt

Thai VietJet Air (TVJA) is likely to have to suspend its international service by the end of this month. The Thai subsidiary of Vietnam's low-cost carrier VietJet Air has been unable to get its air operator's certificates (AOCs) reissued under new stringent global standards in time for the Aug 31 deadline set by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT). But the impact may be minimal as TVJA has only one international route -- Bangkok-Hai Phong -- in operation, with four flights a week. TVJA has a contingency plan -- to have its parent carrier assume the services on its behalf until it gets its AOC recertified. <br/>
