Attacking aircraft can never land in a newly captured territory. Being an amphibious assault does not change this rule.

The fighters need to return to a territory that was friendly since the beginning of the turn. Note that if the aircraft return to a land territory, it does not need to be the same one that they departed from. Fighters can also choose to land on an aircraft carrier. A single carrier can support two fighter planes.
