Launch of Aviation Magazine

Aviation Magazine was born from the inheritance of two magazines of the Vietnamese aviation industry. The content and press license were inherited from Opensky Magazine - Open Sky (the governing body is the Vietnam Aviation Business Association - Vaba).

Opensky Magazine was granted an electronic press license No. 02/GP-BVHTTDL by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism on March 27, 2025. Accordingly, Opensky Magazine was renamed Vietnam Aviation Magazine , along with a change in the interface and design of both the printed and electronic magazines.

Regarding the name, the magazine is inherited from the former Aviation Magazine of the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (which ceased operations in 2014 after planning and arranging the press).

Speaking at the launching ceremony, Dr. Bui Doan Ne, Vice President, General Secretary of Vaba and Editor- in -Chief of Aviation Magazine, affirmed: "In the context of the country's innovation, entering the era of development, the requirements and needs for information about the aviation industry are increasingly large and strict, Vaba and the Editorial Board of the Magazine have decided to carry out a revolution at the magazine. The magazine has comprehensively innovated from content strategy, interface, design, working conditions to organization and personnel".

According to the new orientation, the magazine is the mouthpiece of Vaba, the voice of the Vietnamese aviation industry. The magazine is truly the pulse of aviation life.

At the launching ceremony, Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Thien, member of the Prime Minister's Policy Advisory Council and former Director of the Institute of Economics, highly appreciated the new strategy, orientation and goals of the Journal.

“The aviation industry has the opportunity to develop very quickly domestically, reaching out to compete with world aviation. The magazine needs to accompany and increase the reputation and brand of Vietnamese aviation and tourism, for example, it needs to make the world see clearly that Vietnamese aviation is the safest in the world,” said Associate Professor, Dr. Tran Dinh Thien.

Sharing the same view, Dr. Dau Anh Tuan, Deputy Secretary General and Head of the Legal Department of VCCI, commented on three issues. Firstly, the magazine needs to more clearly demonstrate its role as a place to gather experts and managers to contribute ideas to amend and supplement policies, contributing to creating an equal and favorable investment and business environment for aviation enterprises to accelerate their development.

Second, it is necessary to speed up the progress of the Project to survey, vote, evaluate aviation businesses and services and honor aviation businesses. Third, there is a need for more articles analyzing and evaluating in-depth each field of the aviation industry.

Respectfully accepting the opinions of experts and representatives of management agencies, Mr. Pham Quoc Hop, Head of the Editorial Board of the Magazine said: "The Editorial Board is working with a fierce, urgent spirit, "running and lining up at the same time", especially searching for and attracting personnel with good expertise and good qualities so that the magazine can truly accompany the industry; friendly and convenient for tens of millions of passengers and readers".

According to Mr. Pham Quoc Hop, that is the mission and also the aspiration that Aviation Magazine is striving for, to become an important information channel, reflecting honestly, objectively and comprehensively the aviation industry - a dynamic field contributing to the socio-economic development of our country.
