Vietnam has allowed more types of aircraft to be imported into the country following the Government’s newly-issued Decree, the Government News has reported.

Under the decree, aircraft types will be eligible for import into Vietnam if they are certificated by one of the following organizations - the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil, the Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), the Federal Agency for Air Transport of the Russian Federation (Rosaviatsiya), the UK Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA), the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), and the Ministry of Construction of Vietnam.
