Vietnam has implemented new measures to regulate unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and establish no-fly zones to enhance aviation safety. In Khanh Hoa Province, authorities have ordered warning signs around Cam Ranh International Airport to prevent unauthorized drone operations, while in Lam Dong Province, the Military Command established restricted zones covering 15 communes near Lien Khuong International Airport to target agricultural drone use.

Expanding these efforts, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has introduced a plan to manage flying devices through a comprehensive census of all drone owners, including media companies and event organizers. The city will publicly disclose maps of restricted zones around Tan Son Nhat International Airport and other security targets. Local authorities intend to use warning signs, radio broadcasts, and technical detection methods to suppress unauthorized flights and monitor the illegal sale of flying devices.
