The laws of Vietnam are complex and new legislation is constantly being introduced. What follows is no more than an introductory overview that we hope will assist investors to decide which areas of law they will need to research further.

This summary is, necessarily, selective and is no substitute for detailed legal advice.

1. The main legislation in respect of civil aviation is contained in the Law on Civil Aviation in Vietnam passed by the National Assembly on 26 December 1991 as subsequently amended on 16 January 1992 and 20 April 1995.

2. The 1995 amendments alter the administrative structure of civil aviation. Previously, control was exercised by the Ministry of Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority. Now however, supervision has been taken away from the Ministry of Transport and placed directly in the hands of the Government. The CAA, previously under the control of the Ministry of Transport, has also been replaced by a new Specialised Agency for State Management
