Many effective solutions

To achieve this impressive result, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has implemented many flexible and effective management solutions.

In order to maintain the development momentum and prepare for the end of the year, the Civil Aviation Authority has identified a number of key tasks. This agency will continue to review and perfect the policy mechanism and legal corridor, while strengthening operational supervision to ensure flight safety.

In addition, the Authority will also support airlines to improve the efficiency of fleet exploitation, increase supply on routes to meet year-end travel demand and prepare for Lunar New Year 2026.

Inter-sectoral coordination, towards long-term goals

Another important factor is the coordination and allocation of reasonable take-off and landing times at airports, along with close coordination with foreign aviation authorities to expand international operations.

In particular, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam emphasized that coordination with other sectors such as tourism, trade, and investment is an important solution to promote the achieved results, promoting overall growth for the entire economy . This shows that the strategic vision of the Vietnamese aviation industry does not stop at transporting passengers and goods but also contributes to the overall development of the country.
