The CAAV demands the Chinese side’s immediate cessation and that it not to repeat similar flights. They should have practical and concrete actions to help maintain aviation safety over the East Sea.
Vietnam’s aviation management agencies are exerting efforts to closely monitor and guarantee the absolute safety of normal flights in the Flight Information Regions or FIRs under its management, the CAAV added.
The CAAV and the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation checked all the received documents and there were NO notifications of the above-mentioned flights sent by the Chinese Embassy, as the embassy had stated. The authority added that the Chinese diplomatic agency’s notification to a Vietnamese diplomatic agency could not replace the proper announcement of flights, nor the correct establishment of contact with the air traffic services provider, in a controlled airspace.
