Vietnam’s aviation authority pushes shift to greener operations
In Vietnam, Vietnam Investment Review reported that the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam has instructed aviation stakeholders to study alternative fuels and gradually deploy sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the sector’s energy transition.
In April, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) issued a directive to its affiliated units on strengthening energy efficiency and advancing the transition towards sustainable development, according to the report.
The authority has called on airport operators to step up awareness efforts and encourage businesses to proactively develop plans to convert ground vehicles to electric and green energy use.
Specifically, during 2027-2030, aviation units are required to study the use of alternative fuels to partially replace conventional jet fuel, while also completing data systems on energy use and fuel consumption.
From 2035, the sector aims to use at least 10 per cent sustainable fuel on selected short-haul flights. At the same time, all newly invested passenger and ground service vehicles at airports will operate on electricity or green energy, the report added.
