HÀ NỘI – The Ministry of Defence has issued a plan to publicise the test operation of no-fly and restricted zones to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ultra-light flying craft.

According to the plan posted on the Ministry of Defence's portal, within a three-month trial period (May 31 - August 31, 2023), summarised information and data regarding the no-fly and restricted zones to those craft in 15 provinces namely Quảng Ninh, Cao Bằng, Thái Nguyên, Bắc Giang, Bắc Ninh, Thừa Thiên – Huế, Quảng Nam, Gia Lai, Đắk Lắk, Khánh Hòa, Lâm Đồng, Đồng Nai, Bình Dương, Tiền Giang, and Bến Tre, will be made available at https://cambay.mod.gov.vn.

During the trial period, databases related to other localities will also be reviewed.

The trial operation aims to help Vietnamese and foreign organisations as well as individuals involved in the management, operation, and use of those craft in the Vietnamese airspace to compare information related to no-fly zones. It also serves the inspection, monitoring, and management of aviation activities.

The move helps the Steering Committee in a decision to be made by the Prime Minister on establishing no-fly and restricted zones for UAVs and ultra-light flying craft complete the regulations before its official announcement is made for all provinces and cities nationwide. – VNS
