CivilAviation Administration of Vietnam – CAAV

Excellent Rare Piece, original 1970's CAAV Badge, North Vietnam, Laos - One Only Available.

The agency was founded as Vietnam Civil Aviation in January 1956 by the VietnamPeople's Air Force (Ministry of Defense), upon the issuance of DecisionNo.666/TTG of the Vietnamese government.

It was originally tasked with state management, national defense, andcommercialization of air transportation.

The aviation sector expanded greatly during its formative years, expandingfrom a few aircraft in what was then North Vietnam to eventually include afleet of over 50 aircraft (including both Soviet- and American-made craft) in aunified Vietnam after 1976.

Infrastructure was improved during this time, as airports country-wide wereequipped with better facilities and materials for flight management andoperations.

CAAV grew to serve around 250,000 passengers a year, both domestically andon international routes to China, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand.

A dramatic decrease in foreign aid in the early 1980s led to a crisis forthe CAAV, which found itself unable to replace aging aircraft at a time whenthe demand for air transportation was rising. At the same time, it becameapparent that years of focusing on military functions had led to a decrease inefficiency, both economically and personnel-wise.

In response, the CAAV underwent a renovation in its organizationalstructure and culture, refocusing itself on equipment repair and maintenance,and establishing two main tasks for the civil aviation sector: airtransportation and air services.

To reflect its new structure, national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines wasestablished by government decree in 1989 (Decision No.225/CT).

In February 1990, the CAAV was transferred out of the Ministry of Defenceto the Ministry of Transport, Post and Communications.
