South
Korean aviation authorities have asked Vietnam national carrier Vietnam
Airlines to review its training process after a pilot failed to make a smooth
landing in Korea and was suspected of be unqualified.
The request was made after many Korean headlines in

site VnExpress reported on November 3.
Vietnam Airlines sent a statement to the
Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority and the South Korean counterpart saying that
it ended the contract with the pilot in August.
A source from a Vietnam aviation authority
told VnEpxress the unit is receiving more reports from Vietnam
Airlines, who is contacting the pilot license provider, Indonesian aviavtion
authorities.
He said further investigation into the training
process at the airline is necessary to determine whether the pilot had
used a fake license or not.
