According to Reuters, Vietnamese authorities have issued a warning to the country's aviation industry, urging it to prepare for potential flight reductions starting in April. This comes after China and Thailand suspended aviation fuel exports due to the Middle East conflict, exacerbating the possibility of fuel shortages.
Related documents show that Vietnam relies on imports for more than two-thirds of its aviation fuel needs, with 60% coming from China and Thailand.
In a document dated 9 March 2026 to the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam stated: "From the beginning of April and in the following months, Vietnamese airlines face the risk of aviation fuel shortages."
The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam stated that airlines should review their operational plans, especially domestic routes; and instructed airport operators to reserve additional parking spaces for Vietnamese airlines "in case airlines are forced to reduce operations due to aviation fuel shortages."
The document also shows that Vietnam's fuel supply from Singapore has decreased.
