The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV or simply CAA; Vietnamese: Cục Hàng không Việt Nam, lit. 'Department of Aviation of Vietnam') is the aviation authority under the Vietnam Ministry of Transport. It handles and regulates civil aviation in Vietnam.[1] Among its functions are: the formulation of plans and programs to develop civil aviation; the development of legal drafts, regulations and standards relating to civil aviation; information dissemination and education on aviation law; aviation safety and security; airport, aircraft and flight management; environmental protection; search and rescue and flood prevention; ratifying air fares proposed by airlines operating in Vietnam; research and development; handling complaints and/or violations of aviation law; administrative reform; and financial and personnel affairs.[1][2]

As of 2001, CAAV managed 19 airports throughout Vietnam, focusing on three main international airports: Tan Son Nhat Airport, Noi Bai Airport, and Da Nang Airport.[3] The agency has its headquarters in Gia Thụy Ward, Long Biên District, Hanoi.[4]
