If an aircraft with Vietnamese nationality is seriously damaged, must its nationality registration be deregistered?

Based on Article 8 of Decree No. 68/2015/ND-CP (added by Clause 4 Article 1 Decree No. 64/2022/ND-CP) regulates cases of deletion of nationality registration as follows:

Article 8. Cases subject to nationality deregistration

1. An aircraft is subject to Vietnamese nationality deregistration if:

a) It is declared missing according to the law;

b) It no longer satisfies conditions specified in Article 4 of this Decree;

c) At the request of its owner or the person who applied for its registration;

d) At the request of the authorized party of the IDERA.

2. An aircraft is subject to deregistration of temporary Vietnamese nationality of aircrafts:

a) Duration of temporary registration is expired according to the Certificate of registration of temporary Vietnamese nationality of aircrafts;

b) The aircraft is not being produced, assembled or trialed in Vietnam;

c) At the request of the aircraft’s owner or the authorized party of the IDERA.

Accordingly, Point dd Clause 1 Article 8 Decree No. 68/2015/ND-CP (added by Clause 4 Article 1 Decree No. 64/2022/ND-CP) stipulates that in case an aircraft with Vietnamese nationality is seriously damaged but can no longer be repaired or restored, the aircraft's registration as Vietnamese nationality will be deleted.
