New Law Strengthens Aircraft Finance Protections And Opens Airport Investment

Vietnam’s new Civil Aviation Law, which took effect on 1 July 2026, strengthens aircraft finance protections and opens clearer routes for airport investment, leasing, and aviation services. The law provides a clearer statutory framework for attracting non-state capital into Vietnam’s airports and defines the routes available to foreign participants.
