In a notice released on August 19, Lam Dong Provincial Police urged residents, businesses and organisations to familiarise themselves with relevant regulations before using unmanned aircraft systems. The authority stressed that such devices must not be operated in the vicinity of Lien Khuong International Airport in Duc Trong Commune, Lam Dong Province.
According to the police, the airport is located within a designated no-fly zone for drones and ultralight aircraft. Individuals and organisations are therefore prohibited from bringing flycams, drones or UAVs into airport areas or other locations that could interfere with aircraft operations.
Authorities also called on residents living near the airport not to release kites, balloons, sky lanterns or other objects capable of reaching significant altitudes, as these could pose risks to aviation activities. The use of laser devices or high-intensity light sources directed towards aircraft is also prohibited.
Police warned that any violations would be handled in accordance with the law.
Lien Khuong International Airport officially resumed operations on August 19 after five months of runway and taxiway upgrades and repairs.
According to Airports Corporation of Vietnam (ACV), the airport is expected to handle between 36 and 40 flights a day during the initial phase of resumed operations, serving around 6,800 passengers daily. Passenger throughput is projected to reach approximately 816,000 travellers during the final four months of 2026.
