Southeast Asian Nation Seeks To Elevate Position On Global Aviation Map
Vietnam is seeking to elevate its position on the global aviation map by becoming an international aviation hub. Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has requested Airbus to study the possibility of establishing world-class aircraft maintenance and repair centers in Vietnam. The country’s aviation market is growing rapidly, with over 110 million passengers in 2026, and the development of Long Thanh and Gia Binh airport projects is key to Vietnam’s aviation development. According to a report by the US International Trade Administration, Vietnam has a significant market gap in MRO services, with domestic capacity meeting only about 23% of demand.
