Vietnam establishes no-fly zones around major airports

Authorities in Vietnam are implementing strict no-fly and restricted-flight zones around major airports to enhance aviation safety.

In Khanh Hoa Province, officials have ordered the installation of warning signs around Cam Ranh International Airport. The restrictions aim to prevent unauthorized drone operations and other flying devices that could threaten flight safety. Local authorities are instructing residents and businesses to avoid flying kites, balloons, or operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in these areas. Police have been tasked with investigating violations and tracing drone supply sources.

Similarly, in Lam Dong Province, the Military Command has established no-fly zones for drones and flycams covering 15 communes near Lien Khuong International Airport. The restricted area extends 10km from both ends of the runway and 8km on each side of the flight safety corridor. These measures specifically target the use of drones for agricultural purposes, such as spraying pesticides, which are common in the region. Detailed maps of these zones will be made available on Google Maps and Google Earth to assist public compliance.
