More types of aircraft imported into Vietnam

Decree No. 89/2025/ND-CP stipulates that types of aircraft imported into Vietnam are issued by one of the following organizations: the US Aviation Authority (FAA), the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA), the Brazilian Aviation Authority, the Canadian Aviation Authority, the Russian Civil Aviation Authority, the UK Aviation Authority, the Chinese Aviation Authority (CAAC) or the Ministry of Construction issues or recognizes the Certificate of type.

Previously, Decree No. 92/2016/ND-CP was amended and supplemented by Decree No. 89/2019/ND-CP stipulating: Types of aircraft imported into Vietnam are granted a aircraft type certificate by the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) or the Vietnam Aviation Authority.

According to the Government Portal, the Ministry of Construction believes that limiting the permission for aircraft operating in Vietnam to only have a type certificate issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam, or FAA or EASA (without allowing aircraft to be granted a type certificate issued by other countries) will limit the opportunities for airlines to access aircraft designed and manufactured by other countries with global capacity in science and technology.

Based on the practical needs of aviation activities and aviation safety assurance, the Ministry of Construction believes that amending the above regulation will create conditions for Vietnamese aviation enterprises to proactively supply aircraft and proactively operate aircraft.

Thereby, enhancing international friendly cooperation with traditional partners.
