Tan Cang Offshore Travel JSC has registered to participate in the country’s aviation market.

In a message sent to the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam asked the ministry to propose that the prime minister grant an aviation business licence to Tan Cang JSC, which is qualified to enter this market.

Tan Cang JSC was established in HCM City in March 2016.

If it receives the licence, it can begin operating two helicopters for tourism purposes in the central-southern region in 2018. The firm’s long-term plan is to provide an aviation service for tourists, conduct geological survey, take map photos and provide emergency medical care.

The four licensed aviation firms currently operating in Viet Nam are Hai Au Aviation, Globaltransair, Hanh tinh Xanh Technology Solution Corporation and Vietnam Helicopter Corporation. They all have five small planes and 31 helicopters. — VNS
